So i went to my boy's shop to get an alignment and they got every wheel and toe to spec expect the rear driver side. He couldn't adjust the camber because of the adjustment bolt was siezed and wouldn't budge out or anything. He used the impact gun and heat it up and still wouldn't move. So he suggested me buying a rear tie rod. Should i find another fix or will i just have to replace the tie rod. I'm guessing he meant by the only way get the bolt out was gonna damage the tie rod. So what to do now?lol

Well camber is NOT ADJUSTABLE in our cars unless you have an aftermarket camber kit so i'm not sure how he was trying to do so.

forgot to include that I only have rear camber kits, and so the adjustment bolt for the rear driver side did not budge, move or anything...

How bad was the camber on the side that could not be adjusted? Maybe just adjust both sides so they're the same until you can pick up a new kit.

However i don't see how that nut got that seized and wouldn't bulge even after being heated up. I wouldn't think you guys get that bad of a weather in there.

i believe it was somewhere at -2 left the printout in my car lol...but yeah he tried with an impact gun and still woudln't come out. so he said that i would need a new tie bar because it was going to be broken if he was gonna take the bolt and which is why he said to get the tie bar first and then comeback...
