Only about 2 inches.

This isn't the best pic to show how it sits but it is all I have at the moment.

It will not tighten all the way cuz the bolt may be too short and if forced it may stripped.. what year & model is your G? I think it was SPC part # 72260 if you have the RAS

Sorry, I did forget to mention that I replaced the eccentric bolts with new ones after that was found and continue to have problems.

Getting ready to put on new tires and have it aligned again. After reviewing the spec sheet from the my last alignment, I began to suspect the driver side to be the problem since that is where the toe was out in the rear and caused the front to be off too. So I got under the car last night and checked the eccentric bolts. Both still look good (not stripped) and decided to see how tight the nut was on the bolt. I could move it with some effort but I wouldn't say it was super tight. I am taking it to a different place to have it aligned and I am going to ask them to mark everything when they get it set so I can see for myself if it moves again.

RAS was only available on the coupes FYI.

I think you're chasing the wrong demon here. My guess is your POS Ichiba camber arms are the issue. There are numerous threads here and a crap ton more over on my350z about numerous Ichiba part failures, here's just one for example. https://g35driver.com/forums/brakes-...l-garbage.html

If you search you'll find more but don't waste your time. As I stated in the linked thread I've had 5 Ichiba parts fail on me before I wised up and ran like hell from any of their products. Replace them asap with a reputable set, I went with Stillen and 6 years later they're still going strong with no issues.
