Really? That is confusing me bc you can see where the camber arm hangs naturally. When you remove the front two bolts (strut bolt and eccentric bolt) the arm drops down an inch or so below Where the suspension sits freely So I was going to torque it in this location. It doesn’t shock me thst my thinking is wrong though.

It’s nearly impossible to do this with the car on the ground. Can you advise me how to accomplish this? I could use a jack to compress the suspension a bit. But that’s guess work. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
