Adjusting Camber on a '64 GTO
I'm getting some wear on the outer edges of my right front tire and the camber is visibly off. My question is, do I add or remove shims at the upper pivot shaft bolts?

Depends on if the wear is on the outer edge or inner edge of the tread. If you have too much positive camber (causing wear to the outside edge of the tire) you would need to add shims to pull the upper control arm shaft towards the engine. The opposite for negative camber. Usually the suspensions need more positive camber and folks just run out of shims to remove ... can't get the camber to positive. If that happens you can install an offset control arm shaft that will move the camber towards positive. Hope that helps.
