Yes, that's the solution. I don't know of any shops in my area that has an alignment rack and a CNC/mill, that I can use all day to make the plates and check alignment. Nor the money.

But for those who want the closest thing, OTG camber shims are the way to go.

they're not metal, its some kind of componsite material that shows where to cut it and gives the angle to cut it ;-), simple hand/air tools needed i believe, but there are two shops around here that will adjust toe on fixed rear hubs it wouldn't hurt trying in your areas, just trying to help

or if you have a friend that works at a tires shop, you can always experiment with super thin washers to get the toe right on the alignment rack (just another suggestion)

Living in the Democratic Republic of Kalifornia sucks sometimes. I'll have to make osme phone calls one day once things settle down.

I have the OTG camber shims that I was going to use in place of the DiParks, and I heard about the washer trick before also.

Better yet, I'll move out to FL and take yours!
