It appears I may have to do some camber adjustment on my RV-8 with standard Vans gear and my question is about parts compatibility.
I shimmed to correct a toe-in condition and now have about 1/2 degree toe out. I noticed recently after less than 50 hours that the tires appear to be wearing excessively on the inside edge, somewhat opposite of what most experience.
I'll do measurements but want to pre-order shims. Vans sell camber shims at 1 degree. ACS sells "Grove" shims at one degree. Grove sells 2 degree camber shims. Are they all compatible with the Vans supplied gear and Cleaveland wheels and brakes?
I know I can stack shims but that gets expensive. I'm thinking I may need 2 degree shims just by eyeballing the tire wear and visualizing 2 degrees.
I just checked the landing gear bolt torques and all is good.
