Somewhere I've seen a thread discussing ways to force positive caster other than hanging a bunch of shims on the control arm bracket bolt, which IMHO looks like a way to court a broken bolt. I think one was to shim the front of the crossmember...anyone seen this thread?

I've been using Rhys' suggestions from an earlier thread, and like the handling...plus 4 caster, 1/2 neg camber, 1/16 toe (but in my case the best they could do was plus 3.5 caster (with shims)..
