What was the problem with yours? I have not used mine to introduce a large amount of negative camber, only to adjust out a slight bit of cross camber (maybe like 1/4 a degree)
Mine now have a large amount of play in them but the bolts appear to be tight. The mechanic thinks the bushes themselves have failed, not the eccentric mechanism.
They are getting replaced this week so maybe the reason for failure will become apparent.
Thanks

The SuperPro wishbone/LCA bushings fail because the poly flanges aren't rigid enough to prevent the arm from rocking forwards and backwards. The bolt can be fully tight, but ultimately it's the flanges that prevent rocking.
