My thrust angle is -0.1 degree. Should I shim it, or is this close enough. I calculated a 1/32" shim would get her just about dead on.

Too close to worry about in my book.

Most FWD cars are not that good. I think you should leave it as Josh said.

Thanks guys.

Kinda what I was thinking. I had to do a calculation to see what 0.1 degree translated to in shim thickness. Long cold winter here, riddled with A.D.D, I don't watch sports, and a tubular upper control arm "up grade" soon in the works to cure a negative caster problem... So the rear end shim idea was a related "while I'm at-it" distraction.
