how much total camber adjustment can you get from the origional camber bolts,a couple of years ago just after i bought my X second hand i complained to the dealer about sagging at the rear, took it in for service and they said they fixed the sag (lowered front) but now the inside fronts tyres have worn real bad, i can see the camber of the tyres so it must be 4 or 5 degrees, would it change that much lowering the front 1.5 inch, it has done less than 10,000 miles and probably cost me 20,000 miles in rapid tyre wear, put new B/stone A/T on on saturday and i dont want to stuff them
so i will either lift the rear 1.5 inch, front the same(should be back at origional camber) or new camber bolts
parts are costly here so the cheaper the better
full set camber bolts $180 US, tyres $800 US so you can see why i would like to know the amount of adj on the OEM bolts, tyres were wearing nearly perfect until they played with it, the front end is solid, car is treated very gently
thnks in advance
yes i know i should have taken a closer look a long time ago

yeah the origional bolts don't allow adjustment unless you have the two piece upper control arm on the passenger side. However - you will only be able to adjust one side. Lowering a vehicle WILL throw off your alignment dramatically.
