Are there camber kits that can dial this out? Are there adjustable top arms which exist that are legal to use?
Suspension is Jag XJ6 to the best of my knowledge.
All suggestions welcomed and appreciated.

Hi yourself. Wouldn't really want to cut that end plate off and re-weld, would you? What is the history of the car? Was the camber OK at some previous time, and has that corner taken a biffo? If so, damaged upright might need replacing. Of upright is OK, can you shim out the bottom wishbone to achieve correct camber? Another alternative (if upright is OK and you can't shim the lower mount) could be to have a new wishbone mount (the bit that the wishbone 'arms' and bushes assemble to) machined up so that the threaded ends of this bit are closer in towards the centreline of the car. That shouldn't be to expensive. Need to use the correct steel though.
Cheers,
Glen
