Do point out besides no front or rear adjustment (other than Toe - "directional" adjustment) OEM.
Also there is no facility to fit the inaccurate / one offset position Camber bolts (which only offer 0.3 of one degree or 1/8").
We saw the need therefore to FIX IT RIGHT THE 1ST. TIME. No more ongoing trips to dealers or alignment shops or changing tire brands hoping this somehow will reduce the costly premature edge wear.
Re-instating from the early 90's once again precisely adjustable Front Camber and Caster with rear Camber (and extra Toe).
ALLOWING TO ADJUST TIRE CONTACT ANGLES TO SPREAD LOAD MORE EVENLY. Excess edge load also leading to ruptured side walls and rim damage.
Up to 1.5 degrees Positive or Negative - (5 times that of Camber bolts) and more than enough to resolve most premature tire wear issues.
KMAC FRONT #503316-2 J (Full kit price $380). Simply replaces the 4 upper arm inner bushings providing precise Camber and also Caster adjustment.
Easily fitted on vehicle - without arm removal. No special tools needed. Bush extraction tool supplied. Also added security in retaining existing OEM forged alloy arms / not welded, fabricated replacement arms.
Similar kit for the rear Camber (and extra Toe). Replaces lower arm inner bushings (retaining important clearance top of tire to outer fender when adjusting to reduce excess inner edge wear). Also bush extraction tool included #502226K $480
For Performance / Track days also see Web site re uprated bushings for the 6 rear multi link arms along with the '4' front lower arm bushings for extra Camber and Caster - the Caster bushings are Mono ball / 2 Axis (2.5 times load bearing area of spherical bearings that soon pound out). Significantly improving brake and steering response.
