Default Energy Suspension Bushing Problems

I recently finished up a bushing overhaul on MY02 and took it to the dealership to get it aligned. I replaced all of the bushings on all of the arms and when I bolted everything up they seemed to move fine. The dealership told me that the driver side rear toe arm and the passenger side rear camber adjuster wouldn't adjust. They said that the bolts on both just keep on turning and that on the lca it can push the arm out to get more negative camber, but cannot bring it back in to give it more positive camber. I made sure and preloaded all four corners of the suspension when tightening everything up. Any suggestions??

TL;DR Replaced all my bushings with ES bushings and now driver side rear toe and passenger side rear camber adjusters will not adjust.

You ever figure this out?

Yes, I did. On the toe arm all I did was take off the nut and cam plate and tested the bolt and it moved just fine, so I knew it wasn't the bolt. I ended up putting the nut and cam plate back on and it worked just fine! On the camber adjuster, however, I had to take some pliers and bend the guides back in so that they would hug the cam plate of the adjuster. It took a few tries and some hammering on the bolt to get it just right, but it works now. I got it all aligned and it didn't give them any more trouble!
