Link Pin Shim vs Camber

Anybody know how much the camber will change in degrees (or minutes)with the change of one link pin shim?

I'm sitting at -.4 degrees. My offset is 7.24mm. The manual lists 7mm or 7.5mm to calc shims. I'm in the middle. I set the shims for 7mm, now going to set it for 7.5mm, but wondering if one shim will bring it back in?

Do the math on it. Its a simple right triangle. You have the shim thickness and the distance between the link pins, do some Trig and get the angle.

Assuming link pin spacing of 6" (just my guess) the camber angle will change about 0.4 degrees for each 1mm shim.

the stock, factory shims are .5mm thick (each).

That would come out to be .19 degrees, assuming a 6" distance between link pins and a 0.5 mm shim

With a 1/2 mm shim thickness and 6" spacing, I agree with that new figure.

Thanks for the math help! I'll see what happens after I change it.
