I just redid the entire rear end on my 914 - had to replace one of the rear control arm mounts so I replaced all the bushings - and now I am putting it all back together. Anybody have details on how may shims I shoudl start with and what I need to do to make sure it at least close on alignment? Fow some reason there were three shims on one side and none on the other? Just curious where the adjustments are made and how I can make sure it is close just to road test.

Since you replaced the console (which would be the reason for the extra shims - I am assuming the shimmed side was the passenger side) I would start with no shims at first and just eyeball if each side looks even once you get it back on the ground. If you need less negative camber, add a shim and look again. You won't know for sure until you get it to an alignment shop anyhow.
