89 XJ6, How to adjust front camber?

[VerseForty]

Howdy,
A while back, I had an accident which resulted in the front-left wheel getting knocked in a bit, to the point where it has about a +1.5 degree camber, and the place we found to get the alignment done after the wheel hub had been replaced said they wouldn't do it because the chassis was bent. At the same time, we looked under the car and only found a slight bulge in the chassis which doesn't really align with how the impact happened, so that's fun.

Anyways we were wondering, how would someone actually go about doing wheel alignment on a 1989 XJ6?

"The camber is adjusted using shims on the inside mounting end of the upper wishbone arms. Again whenever disturbing them, note where they were and replace them then get a fresh alignment."


+ camber, top of wheel out...or, in your case, bottom of wheel in. Bets are you tweaked the bottom of the frame where the lower control arm attaches. Find a frame shop.

As TOC says. These unibodies don't hold steady when suspension parts are banged. Body moves as there is no frame. Check body straightness on frame rack.
