Try Steeda - also - use the search function - I think Ford has part number out.

Eibach has a set of camber bolts now, for about $30 or so. http://www.seanhylandmotorsport.com/online...roducts_id=1805

I've also heard good things about the camber bolts from this company: http://www.specprod.com/

Caster cannot be adjusted on the 05's.
IF YOUR CAMBER HAS CHANGED YOU HAVE SUSPENSION DAMAGE. GET IT TO THE DEALER FOR A CHECKUP QUICK.

If it's toe change it can be adjusted. You may have just bent a tierod

If your camber is off, doesn't that mean that something is bent?

If something is bent, it's best to replace the bent part rather than try to compensate for it.

can anybody say if the pro-alingment kit from Eibach works? I rather spend $30 than almost $200 from Steeda...

If your camber is off, there is a piece of your suspension that is bent. Getting a camber bolt or plate is just a band aid to the problem.

If your car was in a wreck, and the frame/unitbody was bent, would you just repaint the car? No. So why do it in this case?

Sean Hyland doesn't carry the Eibach Pro-Alignment kit anymore.. I can't find it anywhere else for the $30 that they advertised it for... has anyone seen it elsewhere?

I just checked with Eibach, and the part number 5.81260K fits a range of vehicles, different make/models. If you do a google search, you'll be able to find it and just order it even if it's for a different application than the 05 mustang GT.
I just ordered one, I'll post the results.

Rony you can get the Eibach Alignment kit from here: http://www.mustangextras.com/index.asp?Pag...ROD&ProdID=2097 it's $18.99, I bought one from them, I bought it for when I lower my car with the Eibach Pro Springs, I'm also going to order a BMR panhard bar.

Hope this helps
