It's right underneath the big nut on the camber adjustment slider.

Hope you did find a better alignment shop today...

I had mine done at a bad place too, and I had to spend another $$ for another better alignment shop to do it. But at least you know you won't get the same **** again.

Its really stupid how some shops dont know how to align cars. I guess when the car is lowered they dont know how to do it. I took mine to my shop that I always go to for an alignment and they told me they did all they could and my toe at least was dead on. But my camber was about -3.4 rear and 2.5 front (which I knew). About 2 months later my good tired are completly done. I went back and they claimed the toe was dead on and it wsa my camber. So I went to another shop and got it redone, turns out my toe was all over the place. The rear left was .60 and the rear right was .30 fronts were both about .20, makes sense cause the rear left wore out the quickest, followed by the rear right, and the 2 fronts wore out at about the same time a bit after the rears. After the new alignment all problems solved
