That sounds bad, i dont know how they would quite do that sucessfully. Maybe they were trying to center the axle? Any wierd track bar mounts or something that are slotted to where they would need to do that? Just tossing another idea for "come-along" use.

Sounds way odd for sure.

Ive been out several times now, and nothing has exploded or fallen apart.
I'm glad they work for you, but there are folks here on JK-Forum who have witnessed cam bolts loosening up at the most inopportune of times. WOL posted about one recent incident just a couple months ago.

X2 I had cam bolts on my first JK. If you do moderate wheeling, the cam bolts will move. It happened to me. Cam bolts suck

FYI. Most SUV's and 4WD vehicles that need alignments cost $59.99 or $69.99 depending on parts or labor needed.

Yeah, but they actually have components that can be adjusted!

True, but shops don't look at it that way. They will usually charge you the same no matter the adjustment. It's their pricing, no getting away from it.
