SPL Front Camber Arm Adjustment Question

speedfreek

I need some insight on just what happened yesterday when getting an alignment done at my local Firestone.

I installed the SPL front and rear camber arms and went to get an alignment. I explained everything I wanted done and was onsite in case the tech had any questions. After a long wait he comes back saying he is finished but has some questions and needs me to come take a look.

He said he is at the max negative camber on the front at my requested -2.5. He states that is as far as it will go (he is not the brightest). I asked him how far off was I when I brought it in. It showed nearly -4.0. So if I had it set to nearly -4.0 camber how is -2.5 the max? He someone managed to adjust the rod end all the way back into the adjuster and then proceeded to max out only the adjuster. Thus getting my camber set to almost -2.5. After waiting 2.5 hours I told him to bolt it back up and I would fix it later.

So my question is can you adjust the rod end while everything is bolted up and on the alignment rack? The tech said he had to unbolt it, but I am not sure if he meant actually unbolting the rod end from the car.

Any help is much appreciated.
