control arm

I am new to this site and hope that someone can help me out with a problem I am having. 65 Barracuda that a previous owner has installed a front disk brake conversion kit on. Manual brakes. My problem is that I can't get the camber set and keep it set. I set it, roll around the block and it goes right back out of alignment. 4 New bushings. Same problem! Any ideas? Thanks for any and all suggestions.

All new ball joints, new bushings and tie rods. The only parts that are not new are the cam bolts, but they appear to fit right and I torque them down pretty good! Thanks for the reply!
