Having purchased a second hand Paj 2008 I've been having various parts of the vehicle checked out.
One is the wheel alignment where the front caster is at +5°06' left and +3°30' right (Specs call for 2°31' to 4°31' with no more than 0°30' difference between wheels).
I'm told that the difference is not a problem (??? - why have specs in the first instance ).
Reading further it seems the Pajero requires shim modification to get the caster right (otherwise non adjustable).
1) Is the caster critical? (what are the negative aspects of the caster being out)
2) Is there anywhere in Cape Town that can adjust the shims?
(PS. The Paj came with raised suspension which I've removed - not needed for my uses - hadn't checked the alignment with the spacers in, perhaps it was correct at that point)

Thanks.

You can try Mark at Chicago Alignment (33-A2, Montague Dve, Montague Gdns Ind, 7441
Phone: 021 551 8351) He did the shims in my Colt, which has a similar front suspension. He has a Colt himself, and is very hands on, including doing a test drive afterwards.
