Need Help - Ordering Shims for my 07 sentra 2.0

[bakerboard]

I went to sears and got an alignment check. My 07 sentra has megan racing coilovers on it so the guy at sears was easily able to adjust the front. He got to the rear and its out of spec. Since the rear, is one solid beam pretty much and no adjustable camber/toe kit out for the sentra, i have to resort to shims. Im fairly new to shims and would like some help on what degree shims i need to order to "zero-out" the toe because im trying to get better fuel efficency. What degree shims do i need to order to zero out my toe/camber?



If you cant see the picture above, let me know. Thanks

Shims for beam axle cars are semi universal.

They list the max adjust, and you use the instructions to install them. They are 2 pieces of plastic stuck together, and you rotate them to achieve the desired camber/toe change. You then remove certain tabs to make room for the bolts.

You are barely outside spec on both sides. The shim with the least amount of change should be able to be tuned to get you into spec.
