Default 97 XJ6 needs front camber adjustment

Has anyone found an aftermarket solution to adding a camber adjustment capability?

I don't know of one but am interested in why you need the adjustment? Is it for a race setup?

I'm not aware of any aftermarket 'camber kits' for the X300 Jags.

Wheel alignment is an industry within an industry and often comes up with its own solutions to problems on many cars. If there was something out there to address the non-adjustable camber on the X300 Jags then I strongly suspect your alignment shop would know about it via their trades publications, supplies vendors, etc. It's a well served industry.

If the camber is out of spec than something is worn and needs replacing (control arm bushings come immediately to mind) or there's a problem with the subframe (bent, most likely).

Why-o-why Jaguar decided to go with non-adjustable camber is a mystery.

Cheers
DD

If you get and post the existing alignment numbers it would be helpful in suggesting whether a camber change would be beneficial or necessary.
