Default rear washer trick...

Hey I just tried the rear camber washer trick last night and it helped out in the toe area ALOT. So, if you're thinking that the trick is just bull sh*t, then think again. Thanks alot to whoever thought up this cheap fix!

Never said it was bullshit, just said it wasn't the safest way to do it.

what isn't safe about it, the thread depth? I only used about a 1/8 of an inch worth of washers.

The possibilty of using "less than high grade" metal.
Stress issues.

Don't you mean it helped w/ the negative camber? Or are you talking about something else?
