2002 XK8 Alignment question
The upper radiator hose blew off and shut down the car . . . but that is the subject of the other post.
While up on jacks to flush and fill the radiator I noticed that the tires, which are only about 25% worn, are beginning to show a little inside wear. Took it to a local tire store for their brand new top of the line computer alignment system. The attached report indicates that the left rear camber is out of spec that the tech says needs to be resolved before addressing the front toe and caster. Said resolving the rear camber will affect the caster and toe of the front. Not sure how much I completely believe that.
They declined to do any work on the suspension because they have zero experience on Jaguars as I live in a VERY small town in the North Georgia mountains a hundred miles from Atlanta. Two other alignment systems in town, neither that I am sure about doing work on the car. Two XK8/R's in the county and the other is a garage queen.
Toe in I get but have have no experience on caster and camber. Indeed, I need a picture to know the difference between the two. Never hesitated to do anything including pulling an engine but need some help on resolving this issue short of driving 90+ miles to a Jaguar dealer.

Car has 72k miles and the suspension seems perfectly tight.
