If thats minus 2.6 degrees then yes, if positive then no. Why do you think your castor is out? Extended shackles?

ok, then yes you'll need some wedges. Not sure what correct castor angle on a 60 is, probably around 4+ but anything positive will be a big improvement so sounds like you will need at least a set of 3 degree wedges.
Plenty of online 4x4 shops sell them so you'll just have to pay postage on top. superior/snake/etc.
There was a thread on this recently for a 40 series if you can find it for more info.

Any decent suspension supplies will have them or be able to get them in for you. You got Pedders over there?
How about this mob?

Any spring works will have them. Also you should find they are a fractiion of the cost than from the 4x4 shops.
