To add what Scargoes mentioned, If the tech puts a screw jack in the correct place, the eccentric camber bolt can be replaced easily in seconds. The bushing and the eccentric bolt will have no loading on it and the bolt will come out of the bushing with no fight. I suspect the entire operation of each bolt replacement, including the use of the screw jack, to be a few minutes. For a good tech, this is a non issue. Finding good techs who can perform excellent alignments on these cars has proven to be difficult..

I have actually made a reference mark on my lower control arms for future bolt replacement. I don't have a pic of the precise location but, here is a pic of the lower control arm with the easily removed cover gone:

I'll try to get a pic of mine so you can show the dealership. EDIT: see pic below

Perfect, thank you.

A note for all but up to you. I have never replaced the rear bolts. Neither have friends of mine. They have never moved(paint marked all six alignments) and I autocross a lot. My alignment shops haven’t seen any move. The guy I use now does endurance racing and has aligned a lot of track Camaros. Even takes measurements of the bolts. No deformation and none have ever moved. I’m good with it. If they do get tweaked I have reserves and will deal with it at that time but not until. Fines for me , but everyone can do as they feel best of course.

Same here, never had an issue, they have never moved.
