swift and spl parts + spacers question?

It looks to me that they installed it in the wrong location. The spl camber arm has the adjustment built into already making it useless where they installed it. The

The camber kit replaces that circled bolt that holds the rear spring

What the hell?



The ones with the squares are lockouts... You install lockouts for adjustable arms. OP, you need different toe bolts for more adjustment, OR replace the rear spring buckets/midlinks/toe arm with SPLs, then you replace the ones you have circled with lockouts.

Why would that make it useless?

Now looking at them closely I thought they were the adjustable toe bolts

Thanks for up clearing up my confusion.

yeah it was a mechanic that just got confused on location, i noticed when he told me he didnt have to drill.

the bolts in the camber arm are the spl eccentric lockout kit the stock toe bolts have not been moved.

everything right now is tight and alignment is holding even tho i have a little more toe then id like it i dont think its too much so shouldn't it be fine for a dd untill Saturday?

it's not useless it still can adjust toe a LITTLE where he installed it wrong, at least enough to get it in green on alignment rack

Yeah, you'll be fine DD-ing it. After installing my SPL arms and not seeing it worth a single damn without better toe bolts. I decided to go balls to the wall and got myself some SPL midlinks to lock my suspension completely.
