Firestone unable to get caster right telling me ran out of adjustment.

My caster is off- .6 and they are telling me they have run out of adjustment on the bolt is this right or are they just stupid? I've been searching and haven't been able to find this problem elsewhere so i'm thinking rookie mistake on their part. Check sig for lift details .

Also if they are right how do i fix this i'm ruining my 1.2k tires because of this.

I have recently disassembled most of my front suspension to clean things up and replace a few parts. While disassembling things I ran into a lower control arm adjuster that was totally rusted inside the arm. (my 4runner has always been a Colorado car) I had to air chisel the ends off an then drill and press the rest out.

Before this, when I got alignments they would tell me that they got it as close as they could. I always assumed that it was because it was lifted. Wrong, It was because of the adjuster. They NEVER told me that they couldn't move it. Now it aligns perfectly!

See that's what im wondering is that they just don't know what's going on i pulled my skid off to get a good look at all of the caster bolts and all are clean and clear.

Is this a common problem with lifts.
I have only been able to find 1 thread on this issue and the other guy had the same rust issue preventing proper alignment.

I mean with a 3 inch lift i.should be fine without getting a arms with greater caster range i would think if that was so it would be brought up more with all of the lift questions we get around here.

Ya got a diagram / picture of where this adjuster is so I can point it out to the idiots at Firestone???
