not sure, but I think it's a style of bushing where the steering spindle attaches to the upper control arm

camber plates have adjustments at the top, mounted where the strut attaches to the top of the wheel well... the adjustments are made by loosening bolts and sliding the top of the strut inward or outward and then tightening the bolts

not likely for the 350Z.... you do not have a strut front suspension that will facilitate a mounting plate and the adjustments...

for camber in the 350Z front suspension, look to adjustable upper control arms lke the ones 350EVO is fabricating or shim-adjustable control arms like Performance Nissan is fabricating

Hope this helps,

thanks!!!

i was already confused because i was reading about jic and their coilovers. because in their description they say their upper pillow/camber plates offer adjustibility of the camber.
humm, looks like i will have to wait for 350evo or perf. nissan.
