What car are you pertaining to? Any time you change shims, toe changes
also. Changing toe does not change the caster or camber though. If you take
an equal shim from the front or rear of the arm it only changes camber. If
you take just one out from the front or rear arm it will change caster and
camber. The changes you make to one side only affects that side. Changing
the camber that much will change your toe. It is best to get a shop that
can do the changes for you. Or if you live in the North Carolina area I can
do it. Hope you get things the way you want it.
