When I  did that, 
the camber bolt would turn & lose the camber setting.   Wondering if anybody 
else has run into this situation?  I am just  trying to soften up the front 
end a little...it's riding way too  stiff.  Would appreciate any 
ideas/suggestions.  You can email  me direct.

Mike - When you assemble the inner pivot point, there are two stepped  
washers which sit on either side of the tube in the middle of the bushing. The  tube 
has serrations on both ends. When the camber bolt is tightened, those three  
items will cinch down and clamp that inner tube. It stays rigid and the 
rotation  of the arm (into which the outer part of that inner bushing is pressed) 
will  stretch the rubber in the bushing in a circular manner. GM may have even 
figured  that circular springing into the effective front spring rate. When you 
have  completed the front end work and bring the car to the alignment shop, 
they will  likely loosen those bolts to perform the initial camber setting on 
the front  end. That will be done with the suspension loaded. This will place 
the "starting  point" for the bushing in the correct place. I honestly don't 
think this is  causing much of the rough ride. - Seth Emerson
