Maybe if you could take a picture or two of the top of the upper ball joints and post it here we might be able to add some insight. If and when you do take pictures try and get an angle that will help us see the slot in the bottom sleeve because it will be covered by the apron of the top sleeve.

Attached find pics of the Ingalls as currently set, a front view showing
the slightly positive camber, and side views showing the pitch.
The slot on the Ingalls was difficult to photo, so I marked it on the pic.
The results are Passenger = M/V and Drivers = N/D
I have also attached the chart, and it looks to me like I can:
gain 1.0 pos caster at the expense of 1.5 pos camber (Driver)
gain 0.75 pos caster at the expense of 1.0 pos camber (Pass)
If I did that it would change the settings
DRIVER side Caster from +2.9 to +3.9
PASS side Caster from +3.7 to +4.5
DRIVER side Camber from +0.4 to +1.9 (out of spec 1.5max)
PASS side Camber from +0.3 to +1.3
Am I reading it right?
Is it worth doing?
Thanks in advance!
