Really have a dumb question. When you install the bolts with the cams on them into the upper control arm. Is there a proper way that the cams need to face? Does the cam (eccentric) have the ability to spin 360* inside the housing for the cam so it doesn't matter or does it only rotate 180*. Tried adjusting camber today and there's not a lot of movement. I'm at a negative camber and would like to move it closer to 0 but it just seems like there's not enough adjustment. I did replace the upper control arm a few years ago. Took it to a shop. They said its close. They never touched the cam bolts. Since i only drive a few hundred miles its taken some time to notice the wear on the inner tread on the tire. Just wondering if it was possible to screw up the installation on the bolts with the cams. Figured i would check with the experts before taking apart tomorrow morning. Some days I feel like such a dumb ***.
 
Got answers. AI set me straight on the bolts and how they work
