Listen, shims will NOT work on a 306 rear beam due to the nature of the bearing and the stub axle. Shims ONLY work when a hub bolts onto the suspension as a complete unit, the shim sits between the hub and the suspension. On a rear beam, the bearing/hub are pressed onto a stub axle that fits into the trailing arm from behind.
Go ahead and fit shims if you want. I'll laugh at your epically wobbly wheels then.
This. Its all well and good saying that loads of cars can have extra camber but loads of cars dont have torsion bar rear suspension. Take advice from the people that know these cars inside out like everyone above.
Btw, there is a guy on the 6 forum who made an adaptor plate for his front ball joints to give extra camber and castor. Problem is, due to how big they have to be to fit, he ended up with something silly like 5 degrees of camber.
