Abstract
A unique shim and method for installing the shim to adjust camber and/or toe in a land vehicle wheel assembly is disclosed. The shim comprises an annular, tapered shim having a shim hub and a plurality of shim tabs extending radially outwardly from the shim hub. A camber and toe adjustment chart is used to determine the angular orientation of the shim required to achieve a desired camber and toe correction, and a template is provided to determine which shim tabs require detachment from the shim hub to provide bolt clearing gaps in the shim.
