01 XKR Negative camber please help
I bought a Jaguar XKR last year I've put thosands of dollars into this car and recently found out the right front and back camber are out of specifications -1.5 front right while left is -0.3 I put new shock mounts on both sides and the camber bolt it still not within specs I'm told the frame might be bent so I took it to a body shop they said the suspension is on a soft frame and cannot be pulled they recommended entire new suspension and that everything looks straight and not bent. My question is if its possible the knuckle is bent or lower control arm? Is this common please help.

How many miles? I would suspect that if you have replaced the shock mount that it could simply be a bushing issue up front. Or possibly a unsprung spring but with that you should be able to check with a tape measure. The control arms can be bent but I wouldn't suspect that they would be bent without visible damage.

Any chance that it is a bad ball joint as well. Sounds like you just need to find a good jag mechanic. Might want to ask for some suggestions for local to Vegas sympathetic jag mechanics. I'm sure there are some indie guys out your way that know the cars and their issues. I wouldn't be overly concerned by that minimal amount off myself but I live in PA and one pothole will cause that in less time then the tire would wear.
