As for the rotational orientation of the eccentrics, that is all over the chart. It varies by each individual car and its caster/camber settings. The correct position for your car is established by doing a proper front-end alignment. (Which is what everyone here has been trying to say.) Down to just a blue car now.

I've gotten good use out of my cheap little digital camera. When I re-assemble, I'll start my alignment with the cams as shown in these photos. This cam position, with the bolt at 12 o'clock on the cam, is the middle position as far as moving the UCA in/out. Consult your FSM, but the middle looks like a good place to start. BTW, Google youtube videos on DIY front end alignment for some good ideas. The main thing is you need to get all four wheels to the exact same elevation with a level made from plastic tubing and a bucket. Use cheap linoleum squares to shim up your tire pads to the exact same water level in all four places. I think you put a garbage bag under each front wheel so you can steer without upsetting the linoleum squares. 7206691-02FrontSuspension.Rfrontcambolt3..jpg (51 downloads) If you don't see two dolphins, you need a vacation.
