Construction & Design

The SPC Performance .50 Degree Nylon Camber Shim is manufactured from high-strength nylon, chosen for its excellent balance of durability, flexibility, and resistance to environmental elements. Its full contact contact surface ensures a stable and secure fit within the suspension assembly, minimizing any movement or slippage during driving. The shim's precise thickness allows for a consistent +0.5° camber change, making it an effective tool for alignment adjustments without the need for complex modifications.

The design facilitates stacking with other shims, enabling fine-tuning of camber angles beyond the fixed 0.5° adjustment. This modular approach provides flexibility for enthusiasts seeking specific alignment settings tailored to their driving style or track requirements. The lightweight yet robust construction ensures that the shim maintains its shape and performance over time, even under demanding driving conditions.

Performance & Sound

While this camber shim primarily focuses on alignment correction, its installation can contribute to improved handling characteristics. By achieving the proper rear camber angle, your vehicle will exhibit more predictable steering response and better tire contact with the road surface. This can translate into enhanced cornering grip and more even tire wear, especially during spirited driving or track days. The nylon material ensures quiet operation, with no added noise or vibration introduced by the shim itself.

Installation & Fitment

The SPC Performance .50 Degree Nylon Camber Shim is designed for straightforward installation. It mounts directly onto the rear suspension components of your Chrysler PT Cruiser, replacing or supplementing existing shims. No cutting, drilling, or extensive suspension disassembly is required. Basic hand tools are sufficient to complete the installation, which can typically be done in under an hour. For optimal results, it is recommended to have a professional wheel alignment performed after installing the shim to ensure precise camber settings.

• Plug-and-play installation with factory suspension components
• No cutting, drilling, or special modifications needed
• Suitable for DIY enthusiasts and professional technicians alike
• Requires basic hand tools and a torque wrench for proper installation
