Sometimes it's necessary to tilt the axle with shims to get the right caster adjustment, sometimes not. If your alignment technician is familiar with straight axle work, he should be able to determine whether or not a shim is needed. If only one side was out of limits, we used to use special fixtures and BIG hydraulic jacks to bend axles into proper alignment. That's not done much anymore because the equipment isn't available at most shops. Jerry
