That's what I'm talking about. I took all uca shims out. Found the closest position with the AMT plates. Then used an equal number of shims on the uca to get the camber where I wanted it. I still ended up with a shim thickness that was less than one of the original washers if I remember correctly.

My camber is good, I'm trying to eliminate or minimize the 1.3 cross caster. I know an oem shim is good for about 0.5 deg of camber if removed from each of the UCA studs but how much caster is it good for if I only remove from front or rear pair of studs?

I understand but any changes you make to the uca's, unless they are equal on both sides, will change your caster.
