Working on alignment and my cams were all centered (large lobes at 12 o'clock) I started by putting rears so arms are full inboard to get positive caster and then figured I would use the fronts to try to keep zero camber. Using a closed end 3/4 as shock mount interferes with a socket. I did lube well in advance and things look clean. I want to move fronts outboard to get a degree more of camber while adding more caster. Seems like there is force on the arm pushing inboard keeping me from rotating. Should I be relieving this somehow to allow the front cams to rotate. Right now about 4 deg on the pass side and 3.2 on drivers so I want to even out before resetting toe and test driving. Will I damage the cams by trying to turn with force?
