Try loosening or tightening the eccentric adjuster could be just spinning around

Quoting SouthCaliVR4:
Something broke /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif You need to look again.



This.

Check bushings, subframe bolts, strut tops, all hardware. Wheelbearings, tierod ends, control arms. If your camber is moving that much with just a little drive something is worn out or damaged. You jacked it up and didn't feel anything loose? You missed something. Checked it again before the alignment, missed it again. I would suspect something as drastic as the sub frame moving around.
 

Anybody have pics of where the talon rear end bolts on. I am giing to start there i have a good feelong thats my problem because i niticed one of the poly bushing was loose to the sub frame but didnt have time to look into it.

Check your lower control arms, make sure the ball joints aren't loose or the arms themselves aren't loose. The lower control arms control your camber, check to make sure the adjuster bolt, where the lower arm bolts to the subframe is tight and not loose. If those aren't torqued down they will rotate themselves from vibration. Make sure the Ball Joint holes on the arms aren't elongated either (you'll find out quick if your ball joint falls out)

Also check your trailing arm shock mounts for anything like this...This is bad, very, very bad.

actually the upper arm is the camber adjustment & trailing arm adjusts for toe. Now if it's as messed up as the pic you posted the trailing arm could cause a camber issue.
