I doubt a place would suck it up and fix everything for you. Did you sign a contract when you dropped the vehicle off?

I told the guy I wanted to be as close as possible to +6.5 degree caster and to change the toe-in to 1/16”. I also told him I have adjustable lower control arms and adjustable front and rear track bars. I guess the guy didn’t hear the part about adjustable control arms because when I got back to pick-up my jeep he had slotted the holes where the control arm attaches to axle.. Nice job dude! I just flushed 400 bucks down the toilet. So my question is does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes a good cam bolt or does someone out there make a special washer that can be retrofitted or welded in?

Thanks
WOW!!! That is just SO wrong! I'd be so livid that someone would have to haul me away. Have them make it right or see a lawyer, or small claims court. I'd have them go to original parts, period! Or start with a new 44. Sheesh ... I'm livid just thinking about it.
