SPL Front Camber Arm Adjustment Question

Agreed. Sounds like he unbolted your arm and then adjusted it. I would start over and find either another shop or another tech. I also agree that you should explain how to adjust before you turn the keys over to them and make sure they understand...

The only other thing I can think of is he didn't loosen all (3) of the 3/16th allen heads and was bottoming-out on the adjuster.

Last thought is I would set the arms as close to stock distance and then adjust from there. I am not sure how you started with -4 degrees to begin with. That is close to the limit of adjustment anyway.

I appreciate it guys. I don't think it was really -4. Closer to -3 would be my guess as I set it up close to the SPC arms I took off.

I figured I'd have to take them off to fix it. Just wanted to make sure before I pulled them back off to start over.

Definitely need a different tech.

If you pull the adjusters apart. Put anti-seize the threads.
