Default Front Camber Arms

Hi, does any member of the forum know if adjustable front camber arms are available in the world of aftermarket parts for a 1980 XJS 5.3 V12. I would rather invest in a pair of these, than hours of shimming and remeasurement every time I want to move from a race set up to a road setup.

Thoughts.

Thanks

Ian

No. But fabricating a pair wouldn’t be hard or expensive. However it takes more time to adjust than to shim. The only way to save any time would be to use left and right rod ends. But rod ends are not very durable on the street. And at most you might save a minute or two.
The easy way to save time is to keep track of what shims were used where. Then just loosen the bolts and add or subtract based on what you’re going to be doing.
I don’t realign between adjustments. In fact I rarely align. I use a digital infrared thermometer. To check tire temps and based on what that tells me, add or subtract shims.
