charlie is partially right , they can be used set camber but have no bearing on the Castor ,they only lean the strut back as the fulcrum is still retained at the bottom knuckle , i personally dont really like the Eccentric versions as theyre the wrong size for the turret tower and unless your lucky theyre never fitted identically both sides .They also reduce the compression of the damper by over an inch due to the location of the bearing ,which is lower in the strut than the std kit ,if you want to go much lower you will run out of travel !
Fords later GpA & WRC cars all had Top mounts mounted ABOVE the turret as well as below ,albeit on a strengthened tower ,this was also raised by several inches to allow the car lower in Tarmac form and to allow greater suspension travel for Gravel .
