    Just changed rear strut assemblies and rear endlinks. Car is pulling slightly to left when I let go of steering wheel.
    I need to go get an alignment, will I need camber bolts ? The bolts on the struts looked original, i dont remember them being eccentric.

    Also I have a vibration at 50 - 70 mph, tires are proly wearing out,or could that be from the alignment ?

    First you need the alignment specs. Then you will be able to know if the rear camber is out and if the front and rear toe is out.

    Vibration could be from un-balanced tires.

    If the camber is out, they cant do anything unless you pay them to put in camber bolts.

    You just have to wait and see if the car needs them, most of the time I wouldnt even worry about camber unless it was way the **** out and causing alot of wear to the tires, but again once they have it on the rack they can see what it needs.

    get an alignment.

    if they can't reach the camber they want without bolts then instead tell them to slot the struts. bolts suck.
