Default front lower control arm camber adjustment

Looked around and couldnt find an answer

Im attempting to get more camber out of the front of my car and I have both bolts on the lower control arm maxed out fully turned to the right/clockwise. For some reason I can only turn the front camber adjustment bolt just past vertical/12 o'clock whereas on the second bolt on the flca I can turn it all the way to the right/ 3 o'clock.

When I look at it it seems like it should be able to turn more to allow for more camber but for some reason it is not.

some pictures to show what im talking about

thanks for the help

Sounds like the bolt is a bit tight. Try to loosen up the nut a little more and use a pry bar to push the flca out more.

just went out and checked again and it turns out the camber is maxed out at that point. unfortunately it doesnt give me as much as I want at the desired ride height. i think I will be extending my lower control arms for more camber
