Putting different caster shims at each side just bends the springs- - - -and short of getting the alignment checked by a professional shop, there's no telling what the actual angle will be. Ford axles on vehicles with a single transverse spring could be bent with the right fixtures and big bottle jacks to get an exact alignment. Not so with Chevy and other vehicles with two front springs and heavier-made axles. Jerry
