Camber Adjustment Screw
Let me start off by saying I know I have a pretty good camber problem. I installed a set of Tundra Springs on OME Shocks a while back and had it aligned immediatley after the install. During the alignment, the shop called me to say that they had broken the Camber Bolt in two because of the "Excess Pressure of the Longer Springs." Ever since my camber has been pretty bad. They said that they had maxed out the adjustment to bring the top of the tire back in, and that was the best they could do.
My question is this, the side that they had to replace the bolt on is the side with the most noticeable Positive Camber. Could this be due to an improper install?
I've got to figure out something. It has destroyed my tire to the point that I have no tread on the outside and as much as a 1/2 inch on the inside.
Any ideas and advice will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Ben G

My problem is that I got the work done away from where I lived and its been a couple years since the alignment was done. So I've accepted that responsibility is now on me.
Is an improperly installed camber bolt a likely cause of such a problem though? I've searched the forums and I can't really find thing pertaining to the installation of such a bolt.
