[s-cars] Strut Mount install ?'s

[Cody Forbes]

That is the camber adjustment. With more slot visible between the stud and fender it is adjusted to reduce camber.

I took a look at the positioning of the existing ones and they are far from symmetrical, meaning they are not in the same place on each side.  On the passenger side, the slots are barely visible on either side of the mounting bolts.  On the drivers side (the side I have an alignment issue) the slots are quite visible on the “fender” side of the bolts.  My question being, are these mounts ever moved during an alignment?  I believe these mounts are original to the car, so just trying to understand the placement of them now before I replace them in the same location.  Left front wheel Camber is out of spec at 1.4 and I get a fair amount of inside tire wear.  The other side is barely in spec at 1.0 and I get a little inside tire wear there too.  Any backstory on these and how they effect alignment is much appreciated.  Thanks!
