front end alignment
Have noticed the tire on passenger side leans out at top a lot. I know there are shims for fixing this but not sure where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Re: front end alignment
More than likely then you have a bent trailing arm, check the offset between the top and bottom linkpin mount flanges, like you were measuring up for shims

Running Tweeds arms, pretty sure they are not bent. I don't think the shims are correct

These little jewels do rust and can fall out if the rust is too bad.

Re: front end alignment
Thanks, this helps a bunch. I was on right track, just need to know correct amount of shims. Also not sure what yr spindles I have, so will just tinker till it comes out close. Not like it's driven on the street.

Re: front end alignment
Try counting the number of shims in yours top and bottom... unless someone else has goofed . I don't know about part numbers... Sorry!
