JOB2 CFTP and GT350R Camber Plate Adjustment workshop manual addendum

[Epiphany]

I've been paying attention to when Ford was finally going to update the workshop manual to reflect the procedure necessary to adjust the factory installed adjustable camber plates for Job2 vehicles so equipped. Well, today my favorite Ford Parts guy sent me an update which included the procedure. Thanks again Bryan.

To begin with, this was the alert that Ford sent the dealer service network...

I've converted the pdf to JPG so that I can post each individual page here.

This confirms what many have been saying about identifying adjustable camber plate equipped cars from the factory via the pin (or "unthreaded locator stud" in Ford-speak). What many may not have been aware about is the 3 set screws (per side) that must be removed in order to be able to make any camber adjustments.

It looks like the set screws locks the plate in the normal position so they don't have to adjust it at the plant.

That's what they are for, yes.

This has been driving me crazy since I got the car. Haven't tracked it yet but have been wondering how to do this. Thank you so much for sending out. Trying to decide if I do this or have the dealer do it. Doesn't seem that hard, just lots of stuff to do.

I wonder why the pins were installed at the factory in the first place? All that work to remove something that was meant to be removed.

The camber plate is locked in the standard position so they don't have to make any camber adjustments at the plant. The protruding locating pin makes sure that the correct plate is installed on the correct side.
