S550 2017 Mustang GT Build Thread Profile - S550 Mustangs

I bought this car in 2020 and have slowly turned it into a track focused car. I started tracking it in 2022 with it mostly bone stock (maybe springs and exhaust), and caught the bug like many others.

And why does that little red piece lock the setting in place? Is it just because, instead of a slot, it has what looks like two little holes for mounting the upper control arm?

Then that also means that it has only two positions for rear camber, correct?

Yes there's only 2 positions for it- full positive or full negative. But with an eccentric camber arm like that BMR or MMR that I have, camber for the alignment is fully set by making that arm longer/shorter.

In theory I think the S650 has the same setup so it could come loose....I guess anything that was designed to just use a bolt to clamp the arm in place could. My clamping bolts just decided to stop clamping.
 
Also have to remember this car is 10 years old at this point so a new OEM upper control arm bolt probably could have solved it, I was also hypothesizing that those MMR arms have solid bushings, factory are rubber and those BMR look like Delrin. Maybe there was some vibration getting passed onto the bolt/connection that the OEM bushings absorbed that worked it loose.
