Hi Andrew

Be aware that on a number of the older kits where the Jag arms were used there may not be any 'adjustment' available.

read on if you've got the Jag front end...

The location and orientation of the upper arms is set by the mounting point on the frame and, influenced by the choice of upper arms - is largely responsible for setting the caster and camber.

There are a number of threads on here about different series of jag upper arms and what they do.

You need to educate yourself on what your car has and what it is supposed to have (in terms of suspension arms) and the available remedies before you go to the shop.

To fix my caster and camber I had to saw off the mounting points and re-attach them. - I thought - Turns out there are less drastic options available.
