Its just a bolt replacment. Don't worry about where the cam is set to cause the alignment shop will set them for your camber setting.

"If you make sure the tab on the washer stays pointing out toward the hub, you can just rotate the bolt until it all slips in nicely flush with the strut.

Now comes the tricky part.
The nut is a lock nut that is hard to turn
Access is limited to both sides because of limited space
You can't allow the bolt to turn much because it has a cam.
The tendency is to push the on nut, which causes the cam end head and washer to slip out of place. "
