It seems like you have to have the control arm and hub at just the right height for it to line up vertically, and then use the camber adjustment to line it up horizontally.

I put a mark on the eccentric bolt and control arm to get the camber back to as close as it was before, that way the camber/toe was good enough for me to drive to the alignment shop.
Missed this... It was a bitch to get the bolt in, but jack up and hammer that thing in. I didn't touch my alignment and everything is good here. My camber is in the negative I'm sure but my wheels clear the fenders this way. I'm not changing it and it drives straight as an arrow.
