Reply to comment by Low-Rent-9351 in Basement wall framing, slight gaps due to crowning of studs. Please advise on next steps if any are needed. by Warsaw14

I’m not sure I’m quite visualizing this? Any way to elaborate a bit?

Second picture down on this page. Cut it and wedge a shim or two into it so it comes out lined up with the others.

drive a screw or two into it angled across the cut to hold it together after.

Cool thanks. I feel it would be easier in my case to shim the lower studs since there are only 2 off in that direction. The other 8 or so studs are level with each other and I don’t want to cut 8 studs this way to get them level with the lower problem studs
