What is the relationship for caster and camber when adding shims to the
leading and trailing lower arms?
I saved this from a previous thread but it is incomplete:

By the way, I have also found that adding one standard 1/16" shim to both
lower wishbone mounts increases negative camber by about 0.3 degrees without
changing castor. Adding a shim to one and removing from the other will
change castor without changing camber (but I haven't calculated how much).
Both of these changes will effect toe, which will need to be reset when you
center the steering wheel. 
Thanks in advance
