If you add caster with shims instead of shortening the radius rods you can get that wheel back (more square) in the wheelhouse.........

Can you elaborate on that a little more? Do I just shim the front bolt on the upper control arm more then the rear bolt?

Yeah, that's the way.

Everybody got adjustable strut rods. When you add caster using them they make the wheelbase longer. If you add caster with shims in the front side you can counteract it.

I need to give props to Opentracker because I gaffled this bit of tech from him, but it makes sense to me.
