Subject:Lower Ball Joint Adaptor Questions (PICS)

Hi all.

The lower ball joint adaptor is removed, and I need to drill out bolt
remanents. If I don't drill dead center and adaptor ends up being
fore/aft, and/or L/R 1 or 2 mm when installed:

how much will the wheel geometry (camber or caster I think) be affected?

If affected, is there be enough "room" to adjust things back to spec?
(hard to assess online I know :)

More pics for the morbidly curious:

Thanks,

Neil.
