I was able to remove and install the front shocks without loosening the LCA bolts or hub/IWE. Twice actually, once when installing leveling spacers and again when installing Bilsteins. First time removing was a beast because of the studs but since I used bolts instead of reusing the studs it was easier removing the second time. Camber adjustment was not needed sine I didn't loosen the LCA bolts so no camber adjusters neeedd. They are a convenience thing, IMO, a good alignment tech can do it without the adjustment cams just fine.

This. No camber bolts required either. The alignment tech had no issues, but they are known as a good shop around here.
