I took the bolts off, one a time to have a look at where the adjustment lies without changing the alignment. Here they are:






This is the driver side, shots taken from the outside looking in.

It is hard to see in this picture, but the lower bolt is all the way at the back end of the slot.

The top bolt is in the mid range of the slot.

The front eccentric bolt is at the top of its range. This is not so clear from the picture, but the bolt portion of the eccentric bolt is up high, rotating the banana arm counter clockwise as we are looking at it.

I think I want the banana arm to rotate further counter clockwise to acheive added negative camber. To do so I would grind away some material from the back of the lower slot where the arrow is pointing in this following picture:



And potentialy removing some material at the bottom of the front slot where the arrow points in the following:



These two changes should allow some added counter clockwise rotation of the banana arm and more negative camber.

Is this correct?
