Hi all,

I just had the alignment checked on my spitfire and the shop told me 
that
one of my rear wheels is toed in and the other is toed out.  The wheel 
that
is toed out is is specs and the other one will be in spec by moving the
radius arm with 1 shim.

The only problem is that they/I do not know enough about the spitfire 
rear
end geometry to tell me if I need to add the shim or remove the shim.

Can anyone tell me which I need?

==AM==
Logic tells me that adding a shim, which is done between the radius arm 
mount and the body, would increase toe-OUT (or decrease toe-IN).
