Where might I find "Degree Wedges" for my axle.

Can this be found at a small town AutoBone® or is there an online source?

I know our NAPA store has them, so it might be worth checking the auto
stores you have in your town.

Jeez. I just called our local NAPA guy. He wanted to know the
application. I explained the YJ had a shackle lift from the previous
owner and I needed to correct the caster on the front axle of our jeep.
He went into vapor lock..., then finally said it sounded like the old
style wedges and now he's telling me about shims and camber correction.
Cripes! I'M NOT INTERESTED IN CAMBER! Castor wedges, this ain't rocket
science, what a doofus.

Maybe I'm going about this all wrong. Any thoughts?

Unfortunately what you got is very typical of some of the chain auto stores
these days. Luckily our NAPA has some pretty good people behind the counter.
But go to Auto Boner or CarQuest and you're playing Russian Roulette.
Anyway, I just called our NAPA, and got 2 part numbers for you. The 1 degree
shim is 704-1161 and the 3 degree shim is 704-1163.
