Camber is how much the wheel tilts in or out when viewed from the rear. In many rear suspensions, camber is set by the angle of the strut at its top mount. Using a thicker portion of the top shim changes the mounting angle between the strut and the body, which directly alters the wheel’s camber. In other words, the top shim thickness directly adjusts the rear camber by changing the strut’s angle. The other adjustments either affect toe, overall geometry, or front-end components, and do not provide a direct, reliable rear camber change.
