    We need to drive each other's Jeeps... You test my brakes and I'll feel for the vibes.

    Are you talking about camber or caster shims?
    Don't buy caster shims unless they're steel...the aluminum or pot metal ones will break eventually.

    Since my caster is 1.3 and 1.4.
    My FSM says I should have 3 degrees.

    So I should try and buy a 1.5 degree

    Might buy a 2 or 2.5 degree since I haven't yet found a 1.5 degree

    I need caster shims. I am assuming the one with the camber problem probably needs new parts to fix right

    nickmil In mothballs.

    You really want 5 to 7 degrees positive caster even though the manual says 3 degrees. I would install a 4 degree shim if you can.

    I ordered some 2 degree shims today at lunch before nicks recommendation so I guess I'll try factory 3 degrees and go from there
