Default wheel alignment

I had new tires put on and they checked my alignment and told me I was 1 degree in at the top of my front passenger tire.

Do you need special shims for jags?

Default Front Alignment

RandyB: On the front A-Arms, Jaguar has what is called an adjustment bolt and fulcrum shaft for adjusting camber. There are no shims, per se, to adjust camber as in the rear end components. There are spacers (washers) at each end of the respective bolts of the lower and upper A-Arms. Having said that, there are other contributors to camber being out, such as saging springs, bushings, etc. Without knowing exactly what the alignment shop is telling you, it should be able to diagnose and refer to a repair manual for specifics as to what should be done.
