Any idea as to how much correction 2 shims will provide. My car is about a degree out of spec. That is after replacing the springs and dampers. Why it is till off, I can’t say. I doubt bushing could be accounting for all that sag. I am still not convinced this isn't a design issue. After all, why does this only seem to be a major problem for people who load the car? The negative camber might help handling, but it destroys tires unless the suspension can maintain the slight negative camber even when loaded. Now if the car wasn’t meant to be loaded, then why state the load carrying capabilities they way they do and why make a wagon. Or simply disclaim that if you carry loads you need beefier springs, higher air pressure (not mentioned in my 03 manual), and expect greater tire wear. I am not talking about carrying bricks around, just a car full of people and some luggage. I’ve never had a problem in other cars no matter how I loaded the thing.
