1. I'm having a hard time figuring out what the axle shims would do to have any effect on camber gain... I could see the axles binding slightly without the shims in place if someone grunted the nuts tight, but I can't see where camber gain comes into the picture...
2. No problems whatsoever with the stock thrust bearings here, and I crash a LOT more than Mike does... I probably crash more in one day then he does all season. I've never had the thrust bearing go bad in any touring car diff...now 1/12 scale is another matter... I kill one every race day (the outer flanged bearing in the right hub)
