New camber bolts ... one I removed is different?

[SideWinderGX]

I recently installed all new bushings on the front as well as new camber bolts, nuts, washers and those notched things. Three I took off (both passenger and the bolt on the rear of the driver's control arm) were exactly the same as the ones I installed, but the camber bolt on the front of the driver's control arm had much smaller notched circular things....enough so that I can't get the new ones into place at all, the tabs won't spread out.

Is there a way to spread the tabs out further? Or is there supposed to be a specific camber bolt and notched washer installed in this ONE place? As it sits, it is torqued properly but is squishing the tabs out (still fixable) but I'd rather have it doen properly than half-assed. Thanks!

Different between front and rear. The tabs that the eccentric lobes contact are supposed to be perpendicular to the subframe. There should be no squishing. I've got all new camber bolts in my rear subframe, and front, and all fit exactly as they should, even after I had behind those tabs welded so they would stay perpendicular to the subframes.

Can the tabs be replaced? I'm thinking someone put one of the rear camber bolts on the front, hence the smaller camber bolt size on JUST this one bolt, and the smaller tabs.

Not unless you drill out the spot welds and re-weld "new" ones on. (By "new" I mean from someone's part car or something)

It would be blatantly obvious if someone already replaced them. And even if they're bent over, a small hammer and some time with a relatively dull chisel can right them easily. Mine were squashed flat, and are now perfect again, with nice beaded welds behind them so they'll never bend again.

Post some pics if you can. The front and rear are in fact supposed to be different.

Welp, looks like I'll have to salvage the ones I have then

No pics until tomorrow around 5 or 5:30 after I get out of work, but I'll post up a pic of the passenger side (good) and the problematic drivers side tabs.
