camber....
any of you knowledgeable guys interpret this for me pls, plus or minus front l.h. side shims? I am not bothered about the back as I removed the shims to allow clearance for fat tyres, but the bottom centre on the pic, 0.03 deg. to the right, what could cause that?

The two main causes of thrust angle variance are rear toe and rear cradle alignment. Since the XJS does not have a rear toe adjustment, it is most likely caused by the rear axle not being perpendicular to the car centerline and parallel with the front axle. Pretty common to be slightly out because of the way the rear cage is located, don't think 0.03 is something to worry about.
Obviously this assumes that there are no bent or failed components in the rear end.

Like AllanG said, this is the Trust Angle and is almost dead nuts on. Even from Coventry they are out of spec more than that. There is much more human variation with a hand-built car than computer controlled assembly lines.
Even straight axle cars have more variation.
