Posted this in the sedan section but figured the coupes might have an answer

Didn't realize the severity of this issue till I saw it in person - there's no way to adjust camber from the top bolt when these things are installed. Just took the car to be aligned today and they told me they can't do it without extended time on the rack and dropping suspension, "guesstimating", rebolting and repeat. There has to be a better way - has anybody found one? I'm thinking maybe an angled box wrench, or maybe even going back with my fenders off?

Found this pic that shows what I'm talking about:

 

I pull my fenders off if I'm going in for an alignment and I know they will need to adjust the front camber. Otherwise I have seen guys ben the box end of a wrench so that they can fit it in there.

 

Went out to my car, looks like the lower bolt on the right of the diagram in the door jam is underneath the sideskirt, do those need to be pulled as well?

Might be different between coupes and sedans...

 

yeah must be different. With mine I undo the side skirt from the bottom and pull it down a touch and then I can reach the bolts inside.

 

Take it to a competent alignment shop. The top bolt is loosened and the whole thing SLIDES to adjust the camber. They literally only need to loosen that top nut to get it to slide. I could understand confusion if they wanted to attempt to adjust caster settings since that actually involves removing the ball joint and spinning an alignment plate, but the camber is so strait forward that I have to believe they're lazy or incompetent.

An alignment rack should have something to raise the front half of the car, with the front raised the wheels sag enough to get a box wrench or a socket & breaker bar in there to loosen the top nut.

 

you cant get to the nut with mine. The wheels don't sag enough, needs another good 2 inches to be able to get a wrench in to loosen the nut
