ive already got a shim in the upper a arm from factory, will removing this be ok?

I suspect you may be confused.



If you have positive camber, and you want negative, then you add shims.
If you have negative camber, and you want positive, then you remove them... or you can cut your upper control arm, as mymmeryloss suggests.

wouldnt putting shims to space the (upper) control arm out more towards the side of the vehicle cause more positive camber?? or where would i put these shims, it dosent look like i can shim out the lower control arm, and in my country i cant legally go cutting pieces of my control arms away.

If you're working on an 86-93 B truck, removing shims will yield more positive camber.
If you notice the shim location, you will see that adding more will move the A-arm inboard.

U arent cutting away from the arm. U are pie cutting it and welding it back up

I think that's what my issue is
I've got a 82-85 shape b1600
They must be different

anyone know anything about this shape b1600??
