Alignment cam adjusters?
I was just told my truck is out of alignment and needs to have “cam adjusters” added to it.
With 42k miles, something doesn’t sound right.
If they are right, what should it cost?
I was quoted $600.00

That sounds like apples and bananas to me. Alignment is wheels/tires/tracking. Cam adjusters is engine, and they aren't added, they're just there. Which year and engine are you talking about?

The kits are right around 35.00 a side and easy enough to install. I had to install them when I did my leveling kit because I was still 1.5 degrees out. I would never pay 600 for install.

I had a feeling that price was way off. He told me the camber adjusting bolts were $400 and right then I knew something was fishy and this was a dealership by the way

My leveling kit, installed and aligned with camber adjusters, was $300. Take it to an independent shop.
Almost every truck, new or old, will need the alignment cams when the time comes.

Is 2 bolts per side all that’s needed in the upper control arm or, does the lower arm get them too?
