Hi
I have a stylus with de-dion rear suspension, having had the camber and toe checked it is out by a fair bit, where can I get shims either pre made or
custom? The wheel hubs are Sierra.
Thanks
Alex
You have U2U
Here is the measurements and correction details, if you spot an error in my calculations please shout, how do I convert the mm toe in to degrees
(15inch rim if it helps?):
rear camber and toe correction
rear camber
Well assuming you use 15" and 1.1mm and 3.5mm, basic trig gives the toe in corrections as 0.16° and 0.5°, similar to the camber so not much.
I'm afraid the ones I do for the std Sierra beam are more than that.
Just as a rough calc, to correct the 0.5° toe in you will need to have a difference of about 0.75mm under the wheel hubs. or .25 for the 0.16.

Dingz, thanks for the info.
I needed to adjust the rear toe on my car and used some thin shim stock , made a cardboard template and transferred to the shim stock
