I'm wearing out my front tyres on the outside edge, car handles nicely. Can I just remove a camber shim up front and all else remain ok?

It's more likely to be your tracking unless you have major positive camber, in which case the car wouldn't handle as well as you say it does.

Taking a camber shim would alter the rest of the geo slightly so not advisable. Either way spend a few quid (30ish) to get it changed - or at least get it checked for free in many places.

Good luck

Its not tracking, definately a lack of front camber. Car is tracked every month so I am leaning on it heavily, it's not scrubbing on regular use resulting in the wear pattern. Just looking at the car the rear has a fair bit of camber and wear is perfectly even, front you can barely see any camber.

camber shims make very little odds to tracking, you can safley pull them (front only)
