Thread: Camber adjustment??

I took car in for wheel alignment after installing new rear sway bar, track bar, trailing arm etc..they wanted an extra $125 to install a camber kit on driver side. Can I install kit myself?? It was -1.4 degrees

they cost about 20 bucks a pair, front or backs, take the top strut bolt out of the knuckle, install the camber bolt, go get it re aligned.

i just bought camber bolts for all 4 struts after installing new struts, wish i had them at the time of install, just aint had the time to install em.

Does quality of bolt matter? GM? AutoZone?

Is there a specific way to install camber bolt? Has + and - next to head. There is a number 2 on washer. Confused??

That's what the instructions say too.

if you loosen up the lower stock bolt, you can turn the camber bolt and see the whole knuckle move.

but it might be best to just leave it tight install the new camber bolt and let the shop fine tune it, this way your no worse off if you cant get it re aligned quickly.

Just install cam bolt and get it realigned again. Just paid $59.95. Will I have to pay that amount again?

Yeah... steering wheel is off from alignment done last Saturday.

My rears are at max camber because they ran out of adjustment. 2 shops here (but same chain) said they won't do an alignment with aftermarket camber bolts due to liability. It was suggested I slot the top hole to gain more adjustment.

That's where they get you with aftermarket bolts.

Took car back to have steering wheel adjusted. Now the car is fully aligned. No camber adjustment needed. Just amazing.

I hated using the camber bolts, they are super tight.
