Swapping L/R camber plates?

[DonPatr0L]

Honestly left it.

I did my first 3 track days ever last year, so it's hard for me to know what's "correct". The previous owner clearly had some knowledge based on the other visible mods I see, like a 5 point seat belt clip on the frame, fire extinguishers under passenger seat and in driver side door. Brake temp sticker gauges and whole bunch more stuff that is clearly purchased with being a serious track car.

I don't have any abnormal wear in the front tires and although I haven't got an exact measurement, i can visibly see strong camber in my front wheels.

Since I don't have any current plans to modify the car further, I'm operating under the "don't fix what's not broken" strategy.

Thanks for the quick follow up. When I first found my issue I was so frustrated. Though after seeing the perspective on this thread, positive caster is actually a great outcome. If you aren't seeing any funky tire wear then sounds like it's a good error to leave in place. I'm gonna keep it in place as well

Positive caster, negative camber.

Sorry yes, typo of the worst kind

Hey did you have any issues adjusting the plates the first time? Just got to the track and loosened the nuts and it won't slide. Did you need to give it a kick or tire hammer?

You need both front wheels off the ground or the sway bar will be loaded up and won’t allow the plates to slide easily.

Yeah I had both fronts off the ground and no dice. Will give it another try with some more motivation. Probably some rust or something keeping it locked up

Fixed it. I was used to my Vorshlags that only needed to be loosened to slide. These Ford ones the nuts nearly have to come off
