Need help. After installing eibach got alignment. Came back with -2.9 degrees on driver rear. Shop told me they tried to adjust from all the bolts and got nothing. Told me to come in and they'll show me. Was wondering if there a picture of the exact bolt that does the camber so i can show them. Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot guys. Went back to alignment shop. He showed me the bolt he adjusted but said there was nothing to do. I gave him the link posted by Cajun heat and he stated he will try it but it won’t make much of a difference. Fast forward 10 mins and it’s in spec.

Yea I talked to them over the phone a couple times, before they told me to bring it back and they would show me how it wasn’t adjustable. I was just gonna chalk it up as a loss and find someone else. But that link Cajun directed me to gave me something to show them. Even while looking at the write up he still told me that’s what he did and that he’ll try again but probably won’t do anything. I was just happy to get outta there without -3 degrees of camber out the rear left.

Yea thanks a lot man.
i decided to go that shop for the connivence, it’s right next to my business. Usually just use them to patch tires. Thought I’d give them a shot, asked them before hand if they’re able to align one of these knowing issues people had. They assured me it wouldn’t be a problem. But definitely not going back from now on to do any work. I am on the original tires still at about 35k. I will most likely re align after that depending what tire/wheel I end up with. Thinking about taking to the track like willow springs just for fun and I’ll look for a more Motorsport oriented alignment shop.
