In all Palio's the camber and castor cannot be adjusted and its only toe-in that can be adjusted which I check personally with the string method the old fashioned way with help from my 10 year old daughter. I have not done wheel alignment since I bought the car in June 2003. If you look at a GTX and the 1.2 Palio you will notice that the 1.2 sits taller due to the spring height in the Palio GTX being shorter or the increased engine weight bringing down the GTX in height bringing along with it negative camber.
Actually very few cars with mcphersons have camber and castor adjustments and to you, someone who is still into string method for toe settings.
