XK8 Rear alignment question

Good day,
I work for one of those good places that has the new Hunter alignment machine, alont with all the other great Hunter machines, like road-force balancing... Fun stuff... I put my 99 on the machine the other day to see how far out my string method was after replacing my steering rack... I was close, but the rear was also out by ohhhhhhhhhhhh, that much... There is a shim package you can get to adjust camber, but toe adjusts with eccentric bolts on the lower control arm. I was going to adjust my rear toe, but I just wanted to set the front up with the limited time I had... Find a place that has the "Hawkeye" Hunter machine... They SHOULD be able to do it right...
Good luck!!
Cheers!!

Toe and camber are definitely adjustable on both ends, with the right parts. You may need to buy two camber bolts from Jag for the front; about $21 each. I posted part number on an earlier thread having to do with "alignment shims". The rear camber is adjusted using varied thickness spacers available from Jaguar. They are $45 each, so you may have to work out a return visit with your alignment guy to complete the rear once you know what you need! BTW, some Jaguar dealers wont know about these parts, and may not stock them. Dig around on the Forum for more!
