0.58 inch) hole through it at the mounting locations, while the outer layer has a 18.4 - 18.8 mm (0.72 - 0.74 inch) slot through it.

shape of the slot in the outer layer. Do this on both sides of the strut bracket.
To increase negative camber, remove material from the outside of the lower strut hole.
To decrease negative camber, remove material from the inside of the lower strut hole.
