Re: Alignment on 4wd
A dana44 will only need caster/camber shims if the axle was assembled improperly at the factory (extremely rare) or damage has occurred causing something to bend (another rarity). I have never needed to use shims on any of the many 4wds I've owned since the '70s. It sseems I might have heard on one person needing shims somewhere in that time, or it was just when I learned that was a possibility if and when needed. I still have a shop do my 3/16" tor-in setting on the alignment machine to assure they are not only pigeon toed 3/16" but also pointed straight ahead when the adjustment is done to a beam
