Default Front Camber Bolt Kit Won't Fit

Hi everyone,

Sorry for explaining this in such bad english but hey, it's not my mother tongue
Apparently, the hole where this bolt is supposed to go, my XF did not have an oval hole, but a circular one. Therfore no camber adjustment is possible. :C Anyone could adjust this on their XF with these bolts?

What Year Crossfire? Mine is an 07' Limited Six speed Coupe and I think I am having the same issue.

Mine is a N/A 2005...
so the camber is the not really adjustable for the N/A? The SLK R170 body can do it though...

Bolts should slip right in with the right replacement ones. The washer is what is responsible for the adjustment. Shoot us an email if you have questions.

Guys, I need to confirm the install location of the front camber bolts to adjust CAMBER... I know you need two sets if you want to do toe and camber... but do the bolts go in front or back mounts for camber adjustment??

I thought I read it was the back mounting position for camber and front for toe....


I just had my Aero aligned and they put the bolts in the front mounting.... and said they could only get it into the max spec of -1.5 on passenger side and -1.3 on drivers side...

I am getting ready to go back and blast them, but want to be sure I am correct... thanks

Just had mine put in today and mine went in the front for the camber with the washers facing outward from the center for my camber adjustment. The washer depend on what your car needs. The 2nd set in the rear would adjust caster. And the do not get the camber perfect just enough to help. Your settings sound about right very close to what I got on mine. Your toe is not adjusted with these bolts. Thanks to TVT!!!
