Rear camber arm question ?

Hey everyone .. After lowering my tsx I've noticed a lot of negative camber in the rear 2.7 on both sides so I decided to purchase the Megan racing single arm kit that is adjustable to +1-1 degrees of camber to end up with 1.7 , I whent to the dealer for an alignment and they told me they would adjust it .. I drop off my car and the next day the call me and say they tried to adjust it but weren't able to and all is the same as before !?!? Im not really sure what to do ?

To remove camber are you suppose to open it or close it ?

Why is the turnbuckle portion adjusted unevenly? That will limit the total range of adjustment available.

Judging from where it connects, extending the length of the rod looks like it will push the top of the wheel outward, decreasing the amount of negative camber.

But I'm not an alignment shop. YMMV. Consult a professional.

My bad for the other post I hit the button by mistake ...
Thanks for the reply .. You're right about the turnbuckle not being centered correctly i already took them off and centered them the way its suppose to be .. I found it weird that they couldn't adjust them correctly, at least the allignment was included when they replaced a vibrating axle under warranty .. Not much of a loss ! I've ordered the other 2 arms to remove even more camber, considering the fact that the offset on the hfp 19s is not aggressive at all .. -2.7 degrees is a little too much, the front is fine at -.8 I found a place near by where they align lowered cars and adjust camber kits , so that's where i will go when everything is installed !!
