I wanted to find out if these adjustment plates were worth it or is there a better solution? Part #86320 I can't get the pic up for some reason.
I had an alignment done and now my camber is off but it was good when I had the alignment done.

Make sure they are torqued to spec (I think 140 ft lb). From what I've heard most alignment shops don't torque them down like they should be and they end up going out of alignment. I would take it back and tell them they didn't torque the bolts to the proper specs and it came out of alignment.

That would explain what happened with my truck. Here we are less than a week later and it pulls to the right. I know they just hit it with an impact and don't bother with a tq wrench.

Thanks, so I shouldn't waste my time or money ordering the lock plates? Just go back and have them do it over and torque it?

I wouldn't get them unless you had aftermarket arms with poly bushings that can't be tightened as much. Yes, I would take it back and have them realign it. Hoepfully they won't charge. When you get it home I would double check the torque specs then check to make sure they are properly torqued.

Are you sure it's off? Does it pull in either direction. Ask them for another printout of the specs.

Yeah it pulls to the left a little and the right tire is leaning in at the top and it wasn't like that when I first had it done two weeks ago.

It's not the hub I did check that even though they are only about a year old. It's definitely the alignment I'm taking it back today or tomorrow while I'm off. Thanks
