LCA cam bolt '98 2wd

[pacstud]

So as I wrestle with bushing replacement (why didn't I just replace the whole arm?)

What do I do when I finally get the passenger rear bushing with the cam bolt (sleeve?) out? Reading online, the bolt was a factory "split cam" setter, and doesn't require maintainence? If I get the cam bolt sleeve out in one piece, I'll just put it back where it was? If I have to cut it, do I just replace with washers? Can I just install without it?

Corn-fused.

Factory and some alignment shops used a cam bolt that had squarish washers that would index it to a specific adjustment and that was that. Theoretically replacing upper arms or the bushings, putting that back in exactly how it was should put the alignment back relatively to spec.

Personally, I usually go to adjustable cam bolts and have an alignment shop put things back to spec. But I also rarely leave anything stock, lol
