Frozen Camber bolts

Lift is installed and took it in for an alignment and the Tech was able to get everything within spec but the Right wheel Camber. He told me the bolt was frozen and couldn't break it loose. He said it was the back bolt on the A-Arm.

Has anyone had issue before?
Is there a write up on this, is this something I can fix.


Currently it's stuck at 0.8 degrees; the drivers side was adjusted to 0.0 degrees.

I'm having the same problem, but with 3 out of the 4 LCA bolts. I tried torching them and used the biggest breaker bar/cheater bar combo and they still would not break loose. I searched on Google and found a tool for removing the old bolts but i'm not sure if this will help:

I am thinking about just sawing off the old bolts and drilling them out. The new bolts are pretty cheap at $26.83/side:

That's going to be a lot of work.
Try heat again.
And have you tried soaking then in penetrant for a few days?
