SPC Performance .5 Degree Ford Camber Shim

2005–2007 Ford Freestyle / 2008–2009 Ford Taurus FWD 2.0L, 3.5L

Part #: 71762

Overview

The SPC Performance .5 Degree Ford Camber Shim is a precision-engineered component designed to improve the alignment and tire wear characteristics of your Ford vehicle. Specifically crafted for the 2005–2007 Ford Freestyle and the 2008–2009 Ford Taurus FWD models, this full contact rear shim helps restore proper camber angles, ensuring optimal tire contact with the road surface. Whether you're a daily driver seeking better tire longevity or an enthusiast aiming for improved handling, this camber shim offers a straightforward solution to alignment issues caused by factory specifications or suspension settling.

By adding a positive 0.5° camber, this shim minimizes uneven tire wear caused by excessive negative camber, which can lead to premature tire replacement and compromised handling. The included brake caliper shim ensures correct hub-to-caliper alignment, maintaining proper brake function and safety. Easy to install with no special tools required, this component is ideal for those looking to enhance their vehicle's alignment without extensive suspension modifications.

Construction & Design

The SPC Performance camber shim is crafted from high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials to ensure longevity and reliable performance. Its full contact design provides a secure, stable fit within the suspension assembly, preventing movement or loosening over time. The shim's precise machining guarantees accurate camber correction, helping you achieve the desired alignment specifications. The inclusion of the brake caliper shim ensures that the hub-to-caliper relationship remains correct, preserving brake function and safety. Overall, the design emphasizes durability, ease of installation, and effective alignment correction, making it a trusted upgrade for your vehicle's suspension system.

Performance & Sound

While this camber shim primarily focuses on alignment correction, proper camber adjustment can lead to improved tire contact with the road, resulting in more predictable handling and potentially better braking performance. Correcting camber angles also helps reduce uneven tire wear, extending the lifespan of your tires and maintaining optimal traction. Since the shim is a simple, non-intrusive component, it does not affect vehicle noise levels or drivability beyond its alignment benefits.

Installation & Fitment

The SPC Performance .5 Degree Ford Camber Shim is designed for a straightforward bolt-on installation. It fits directly into the rear suspension assembly of the specified Ford models, replacing or supplementing existing components to achieve the desired camber correction. No cutting, drilling, or complex adjustments are required. Basic tools such as a jack, jack stands, and standard hand tools are sufficient for installation. The process typically involves removing the wheel, disassembling the suspension components as needed, and installing the shim in the designated location. For best results, a professional alignment is recommended after installation to ensure all suspension angles are within factory or desired specifications.
