they generally tell me my radius rods are bent, and that the bushes are too soft for my radius rod, although it's never caused an issue.

you may also find that the arms may appear bent, however it could be the bushes.

pull the arms off, have new bushes pressed in and clean them up maybe give them a quick spray with some chassi black and go back, I bet they say there is no issue with them now.

if hes got a camber kit, the bushes should be fine.

Yer pedders seem to be the problem lol. taking it to get another opinion during the week.

what did they manage to set the camber at after adjustment? or did they not bother because of the "bent arms"

id also be taking it to someone else for another opinion

They got it to -2degrees but its only got SL's atm and there on full adjustment. (wanna go back to other springs.)
