So that doesn't leave a lot of latitude for auto-x tuning <g>. If you want negative camber I think you're looking at; /html/mgs/2004-05/msg00474.html (8,456 bytes)
5. RE: steering rack alignment (score: 1): Author: "Larry list account" <list@marketvalue.net>; Date: Mon, 24 May 2004 19:15:44 -0600; Max is right. The only adjustment is toe in/out. The camber and castor can be changed, but only by modifications. The answer to your question TJ is, yes. I've never had a company say "no" to an align; /html/mgs/2004-05/msg00475.html (8,263 bytes)

The a-arms give me about 2deg negative camber at stock ride height. It works really well, but the inside; /html/mgs/2004-05/msg00478.html (8,929 bytes)
