Default New set of Treads unable to set Camber

Hey all,

so I got a new set of treads on the truck this past weekend and upon having the truck aligned, they were not able to set the camber on the passenger side. The did not tell me about it until I asked and got the print out from the operator. I went back the next day and he told me that I may need to have the camber bolts replaced. I asked him why they did not tell me during the alignment and he said it is so minuet that it will not effect the wear of my tires. My question is should I but the set $50-$70 or just let it go. How hard is it to replace? Doesn't look all that hard....then go back and have them adjust.

How far out of spec is it? Any warranty left on your truck?

like .1 from being in spec. I do have some warranty but I don't think it covers that as that may not be covered by powertrain......Have to recheck because I can't remember when I purchased.

That little bit I wouldn't even worry about. Tire pressure can have more of an effect than that little bit out of spec will. If it drives straight down the road, and doesn't exhibit odd behavior, ignore it.
