Tracking issue after new arms

Hi all, just had two new bottom arms fitted along with all new bolt hardware. Then had it 4 wheel tracked. Problem arises on drivers front in that they can't get the camber 100% bang on as the new bolts only push out so far before coming in again. They suggest that it is wear to the bolt hole where it may be slightly oval. It drives fine and straight but been told to look out for possible inner tyre wear.
Is there a part I can change to rectify this properly?

The brackets with the adjusting holes in are welded to the frame so technically they are not replaceable, certainly would not be available from L/R. It may be possible to build the worn edge up with weld and file back down to original size. I would be more inclined to check the ''Lug's'' the adjusting washer's ride/rotate against to make sure they haven't been damaged as well, possibly by someone having done a previous alignment.

Cheers

Tracking was done at Tyrespot, friend of a friend. Took all my other vehicles there with no issue. These were brand new arms and all new bolt hardware.
Any chance of a pic showing these Lugs?

Not the best picture, but that's all they are and the concentric washers rotate against them, if they have been damaged or sort of flattened in anyway the washers can ride over them and not allow the bolt to adjust properly.

Thanks for the pic Col. Very speedy of you. When it stops raining I'll hopefully get a chance to have a look.

As you can see the '' Lugs'' quite easily from under the vehicle, if the n/s one is o.k. then you should be able to take a measurement from that to position, as where to weld a new plate too, or as the original is only basically a indentation stamped in the metal you could probably work it out by looking on the inside of the bracket to see the where the indentation was stamped in. If indeed that is the cause of your issue.

Cheers
Col
