Default Alignment (again)

I never did align the mustang the first time. So I am finally going to align it. What do I need to correct the camber? Shims needed? Or am I talking about the wrong thing.

On your 67 the caster/camber alignment is made by a combination of the lower arm eccentric (mounting bolt) and the strut rod.

I would take it to a shop and have them do it because they have the right equipment to do it.

I'm on the toe right now. I have everything in the range according to my readings. Except my toe.

How do I rotate the Tie rod sleeve after loosening the bolts? Mine aren't moving at all.

Well I failed... Going to take it to an alignment place this week. I think I made it worse.
