As far as I know that square outline is wear.

The camber compensator still made by CB Performance USA is meant to be 50% stronger than the EMPI one.Have a look for yourself!

I rode in a friends 59 Ghia the other day. It has a large bar up front and the compensator out back.
The tires were giving up in the twisties but there was hardly any body roll. Very Happy

They will break on you if excessively worn. You are probably OK with the wear you have

I have the same wear on one of the bars I have. I used JB weld to build it back up and a file to smooth it out. I was lucky enough to find an almost new camber compensator on eBay and have that one installed on my car now. I also am selling straps I made, in case you need some.
