Do you think I have fitted something the wrong way around.

This is a pic of my car off side front. Are your shims in this way around ?
Yep, the shims are the right way around so the top wishbone looks ok.

Have you checked the bottom wishbones, are they on the correct side, ie the "swans neck" bottom ball joint mounting points forward slightly. If you have put these on the wrong side the top wishbone camber won't make any differnece whatsoever, but your self centering in reverse would be great!!

Cheers,
Tony
