Default IRS top and lower arms

Fairmont ghia and XR8 IRS rear arms are suppost to be slightly different, either the top or the bottom arm is a different lengh, to give the different camber, does anyone know which it is?

I've changed my whole IRS cradel over to an XR8 one and now my camber adjustment is from 1 to 2 degree's, previously with original Ghia IRS it was 0.25 to 1.25 degree's adjustment i had, so I want to swap whichever arms over, but trying to avoid swapping all 4.

from what ive read there is an extra long bolt for adjusting camber on the XR8 unit.
on the fairmont/lane unit it doesnt have as long a bolt so camber adjustment is minimal

unsure where this bolt is located

The bolt is what gives the Camber adjustment AFAIK

Looks like a bolt with a weird washer on it and a section of the bolt flattened off, bolts the hub to the lower arm IIRC

Nah i have the eccentric bolt on both of them, the arms are actually different as well, i just don't know wether its top/bottom or both. Cause i want to swap the ghia arms over to get my camber down under 1degree.
