Rear camber bolts, not ok??

I just had my alignment done and everything feels fine, but when I went to adjust my ride height I saw that one of my camber bolts (correct me if I'm wrong) looks upside down.

Attached are my left rear camber bolt (correct?) and my right rear camber bolt (not correct?).

Can it be ok like this? Or is this wrong and I should take it back?


Thanks guys!

Cool, thanks!


I also have the alignment spec sheet, but I forgot it at home. I'll post up those #s tonight just in case anything is off.

Is your left rear LCA bent? Or is that just the angle and cropping of the photo?

Hope it's the pic. I'm taking it to the alignment shop today so I'll double check.

That's just the angle of the LCA. Picture and LCA is fine.

Also, looking at the pics, you installed the washer upside down in the first pic. Second pic is correct.

That is not fine, it is upside down. They did that because that side is a pain in the a** to tighten without messing up the adjustment.

Dude look at the stock LCA on your own cars. That thing is definitely bent.

So the shop double checked and said the toe and camber were with in spec. I asked about the bolt and they said it was weird but that they had to have it like that to get the alignment correct.

Also, BOTH lower control arms are bent! They are bent exactly the same?? Anyone know why? I checked online pics and it looks like they should not be bent.

I think something is wrong back there, but I can't find the problem. Since it's driving really well right now I'm going to leave it alone. I'll look into upgrading the LCAs when I put some other stuff on in a few months.

Thanks again for the help guys!!
