So my alignment is off on my front passenger side. Was told to replace control arm and ball joints. Switched to a one-piece and bought the moog camber kit. Now when trying to install the bolts on the left side of the control arm i noticed the circle part of the kit did not fit.
I inspected why that is more and noticed the metal is slightly bent, as if someone overtightened the original bolts and it caused the 2 side parts to curve in slightly, so now the circle part of the kit does not fit.....so now I'm wondering if it would be ok to shave down the circle part to make it fit and is there a possibility i can shave it off too much? Any help is appreciated, thank you.
 






If i remember when I did mine, the circle washer fits better and flush on way. If installed the other way it is away from the fram and will bend when it tightened. Dave P.
