But adding shims to the ball joint is going to take the camber (as well as
the steering axis inclination) more positive !
Did he measure SAI (also known as King Pin Inclination) ? That's one way to
distinguish if the damage is to the vertical link/stub axle or not; since a
bent link or axle won't change SAI but a displaced pivot will.
