Removing a shim makes the radius rod shorter, which
moves the wheel forward, which will make it toe in.

The alignment shop did not want to install the shim because my car has a
rust hole in the lower outside corner of the vertical panel behind the
seats
that the radius rod is connected to. They felt this was too rusty for
them
to risk
Adding shims increase the toe-out and removing then increase the toe-in.

Hi all,
I just
It seemed like maybe you wanted to know the stock settings.
According to Haynes, rear toe-out should be 1/32nd to 3/32nds (.079 to
2.38mm).
One hopes the shop should know how to shim to get that.
While I've got the manual open, camber should be 0 to 2 degrees.
Hope that helps,
Nick Moseley
