Mine doesn't and all of the BAs and BFs I've had through the workshop hasn't had it...Not saying its impossible, just that it is very rare Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82093-fg-sedan-rear-camber-adjustment/page/2/#findComment-1300691 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the car brand new so obviously they were factory fitted.

The reason being is that if you speak to spare parts there are no listings for the adjustable part on anything other than v8 product Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82093-fg-sedan-rear-camber-adjustment/page/2/#findComment-1300696 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 6m 13d Posted 26/09/12 11:48 PM Author Share Posted 26/09/12 11:48 PM So my car doesn't have it! What are my options? I didn't buy the adjustable upper control arms to try save money and now looks like I shot myself in the foot doing so. Is it possible to source this part from a wrecker or Ford? or is it a completely different control arm and you have to swap it over, because if that's the case I'm up for a few hundred $$ to have the diff cradle dropped out AGAIN!!Really need help before the car gets its wheel alignment 2moro!Also I got a spirit level out to see if I could see if the wheels were out. The right rear has almost the slightest bit of positive camber and the left rear is way negative!
