It really makes no sense when you ponder how he's supposed to adjust camber as they're installed presently. You can't even access the 4th cap bolt (hidden or do they only include 3 lol) so how are you going to loosen the assembly to adjust camber, if this installation is correct? Again, makes no sense.

    Here are more photos of correct plate installation. Again, the inner slotted area is for caster - they always have a screw with allen key head and that action is front to back. Camber adjustment is side to side.


    This is from ground control website..so weird how it's contradictory to what everybody else is saying

      😂 dude, I didn't design them, but they're installed correctly as-is.
      Yes, I used 3 bolts, no issues.

        How do you adjust if a bolt or 2 are blocked? (See gc's pic above)

          Same way you would if you're making changes on your plates, just an extra step

            You have to drop the struts down or cut the tower, see my pic above

              That's absolutely ridiculous. Install them 90 degress turned and you can adjust camber easily like every other plate.

                    IDK what to tell you but a bunch of manufacturers make them that way when there is camber and caster adjustability. Maybe has something to do with that central mount, if you turned it 90* it would run into that inner mounting stud to the chassis before getting enough camber.

                    In fact it is so common....
