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.

Well I have over 1/2 inch of shims in my car. Very low 3 7/8" at the rear donuts. I am striving for -1 degree camber in the back. Slicks ya know.
I set rear toe at just a smidge toe in. difference of 1/32 or so difference front of rim to back of rim.

Don't use this alignment setting unless you absolutely know why you are doing so. better to go with 1/16" toe in each side.

Just string it.
