Hello and welcome to justanswer.com

 

If the camber is out of spec then yes an eccentric bolt will need to be installed in the lower control arm to correct your camber angle. You should also make sure your ride height is in spec as you may have weak coil springs.

Can you tell me just what the correct ride height is and where I would get the camber correction bolt package?

Thank you,

Let me check the ride height spec. You will need to get the bolt from Jag. I will look up the part number.

Sorry for the delay.

 

The ride height is

400mm (15.74in) in the front and 405mm (15.94in) in the rear.

 

The part number for the camber bolt kit is either JZB100085 or JZB100086 and you will need one for each side.
