wth does "camber adjuster would go through the front fender" mean?

if they mean it'll make the tyre hit the fender, i'd suggest rolling the fender lip if you haven't already.

also, you don't need to be in-spec for camber to minimize inner edge wear; i'm curious what your car is actually at...

Meaning..the camber kit (im guessing yours is running on the ED chassis) bolt that goes in for the Adjustable Ball Joint will hit the fenders. How to overcome such a problem? Ground the Nut connected to the Balljoint Bolt just a lil bit.
