Am I missing something with that camber adjuster? (serious)

I'll have to pull the arms out and take a look at closer.

Won't the static friction of the main bolt take the load upon install? That little pin is just for setting the position not taking the load. I'm assuming the bushing has a metal center that everything clamps down on a bit.

That idea works with a strut to knuckle bolt because the those two parts remain stationary with respect to each other. But the control arms oscillate up and down and that bolt is the pivot point.

But the bolt doesn't pivot in the swing arm the bushing pivots on the bolt.

So your saying there's no relative motion between the arm and the bushing when the bolt is clamped down... You very well might be right.

Here are some pics. I think these should be fine. Like it better than the SPC that I am running now.

It's just the only way I can see it would work

the metal insert in the bushing is where the motion takes place. the bolts in the arm don't rotate.

Exactly

Anyone know what the camber range with these arms would be?

For the price, they look like an exceptional choice.

That's a good question, nothing listed under description or specs in the link
