Question Frozen camber bolt?

I just had the campaign 50N recall done on my '97 SR5 - the steering linkage rod replacement. The dealer I went to said that the camber was awfully close to spec, but not quite - and that they couldn't adjust it because the camber bolt was frozen. He showed me the numbers, and it was pretty close - but I know that this is likely to cause me some trouble down the road, and shave my handling/mileage a tad in the meantime.

So, I've gotta ask - is this something I should just ignore until it becomes an actual problem, or replace myself when I can? I can handle quirks, but if this is a 2-hour fix with a $20 part, I'll make it good - if it's a 6-hour job with a $300 part and really doesn't matter, I'll skip it.

Advice, anyone?

Danno, wishin' he knew more....

My camber and casters were frozen when I had the recall work done also. It was close enough to spec that they didn't think it was worth doing. I'm curious what you guys think too. The dealer mechanic said it could be hours and upwards of $500 to remedy the problem, if it is bad enough.
