another front end alignment question '97 f250 FWD
i'm replacing front tires on my 1997 f250 heavy duty FWD. they're showing wear on the inside of the tire so i want to have the alignment done as well (hasn't been done since i got the truck few years ago). truck has stock suspension. took it to a local shop to get a price on the alignment. the price is $90 but then the mechanic said if offset cams are needed then it's $150 a piece.
i tried googling offset cams, alignment cams, camber bolts, etc, but i'm not getting any answers. i did see that camber bolts run about $50. so now i'm a bit confused by the quote i was given.
can someone explain this to me? i want to be a little more educated when i head back to the shop. what's the deal with these camber alignment bolts?
thanks in advance!

thanks!
no changes to the suspension. it's stock. new shocks and springs were replaced a while back when i first bought it.
i'm taking it to a shop someone on this board recommended (the front end shop in nj). i may pay a premium but sounds like i'll at least get quality service. i know what work has been done to the truck so hopefully they won't try to recommend replacement of parts not needed...
