Re: redone chassis shim.
Absolutely brilliant! I feel lucky that my spider doesn't have any frame issues. This will be a great reference for those that need a guide to fix this issue.

Re: redone chassis shim.
The last couple of time i took the car out, there was no clunking. It no longer pulls to the left. I can see a major improvement in the camber. I havent put a square and tape measure on it yet to see where i'm at. I've ordered new a-arms, so am waiting for those because a final assessment.
