According to RC Crew Chief, I just double-checked, a .5mm shim change at the hinge pin is about a 3 times larger change to roll center compared to a .5mm shim change on the camber link. Changing the camber link tho will make a much more sizable change to camber gain. So, be mindful that you'll probably want to add more static camber when lowering your roll center via the camber links.
Speaking completely anecdotally, I find a .5mm change to upper camber link hard to feel on the track, most of the time. You might try a full 1mm change, or a .5mm change at the hinge pin to get a solid feel for how the change effected your car.

+1 to Ethan. I would prefer to reduce the shims at the hub first personally just to avoid any wheel rub on the outer camber link. 2mm will clear most wheelson the bench , but it can get close and I have seen it rub on some wheels, especially soft wheels that can deflect under load at mod speeds.

Hello
On my t4 14 the pin in the outer u joint on the left front axle keeps sliding out and caching the king pin and locking the left front up. If any of you have had this problem pls tell me how it can be fixed.
Thanks

If so, you need to ensure the grub screw goes into that flat spot and use some thread locking compound to hold it in place.

I'm finding the Xray DCJs to be very frustrating. I've had the set screw back off about a dozen times now, resulting in the pin sliding out and either tearing up my C-hub or getting stuck in the knuckle. Two things I have learned.
1. Degrease the crap out of all the parts before you assemble
2. You GOOD loctite, not like what I've been using (just random RC brand). Use Permatex 243, which is "surface insensitive" and should handle oily conditions better. That's what I'm trying next.
I also have a set of RSD DCJs coming, the $100+ worth of Xray ones have let me down one too many times and may just serve as backups to the RSD ones soon.

Thanks
