    Camber bolt question

    Looking at buying some camber bolts for the front of my GL to make it easier for the alignment guys, & I have one question, do they get fitted to the top hole in the strut or the bottom hole?

    Cheers

    Do you know something is that bent they need the bolts to fix it? You would fit them in the hole that allows the camber to be corrected,.

    Needs neg camber top, needs pos comber bottom.

    No nothing should be bent, just want to be able to tell them that the top or bottom bolt is an eccentric for adjusting camber, don't want to go through the whole "we cant adjust camber 'cause we haven't got the right tool" type situation. A lot of the wheel alignment joints around here employ lazy bastards if you know what I mean.

    Buy the bolts and give them to the supervisor. If you really think they need them. Otherwise take it in and be prepared for a second visit.
