Sure, i got wedges in the front of mine when i didn't have X-over steer. Made a big difference to the steering because of the altered castor angle. Now i have the dropped front cross member i dont need them in there. But because im lazy they are still there. I intend moving to the rear axle sooner or later. More of an experiment than anything else because my tailshaft doesn't vibrate that much that it pisses me off. But if i can get rid of it ill be happy.

As for the direction of the wedges you want the thin edge of the wedge facing the direction that has been made lower than standard. In your case that would be towards the shackles. Easy? :D
