    I have a ?? in regards to camber bolts...I plan of replacing my struts on a 04 GP and have read that you just use the excisting bolts when doing so but have also read people saying you need to install camber bolts on each strut (lower bolt gets replaced with a camber bolt).
    My suspension is stock with no mods and have had it aligned before with no mention of "camber bolts"...
    Do I ned to install camber bolts or not on my car???
    if anyone can shed some light on this I would really appreciate it..thanks

    Eh... I would just try to use my stock bolts. Camber bolts are pricey. But you're going to need an alignment after you put your struts on, so regardless, you will find out if your camber is correct or not. And from there if you need camber bolts, do so.

    you do not need camber bolts unless your springs are enough worn that they sag and throw off alignment.
