[QUOTE="Blkkbgt, post: 15327851, member: 117234"] Yes there is that much play. Ford intentionally did this to help with aligning the front end due to the large manufacturing tolerances in these cars. I forget how much adjustment is there but I know it's over +/- 1° each way. You can swap the plates if you want but depending on how positive the spindle sitting you still may not get the camber you want or you'll max out the CC plate adjustment and won't be able to get any more negative camber if you want it later. If you have a camber guage you can set the spindle to a negative position at ride height but you'll need to remove the spring and compress the strut to that position with the car level and the CC plate at full positive. This is where things get tricky because the strut may or may not contact the hood when you turn the wheels as the purpose of the plates is to allow the strut to articulate. It takes a lot of playing around but it's worth it imop. [/QUOTE]
