i have a question about front camber bolts tooo, can you adjust them? or do they only go to +2 or -2 camber?

fam7ous · 06-01-2009, 07:44 PM

you can adjust them i know that. its just a 50/50 split it seems with some saying the top hole or bottom. i need more info please lol.

From the way I look at it. If you want more positive camber use the bolt on the top and if you want more negative use the bolt on the bottom.

The top is preferred but often doesn't give enough negative camber by itself. That's when people choose to use the bottom hole for the crash/camber bolt or use two, one in each hole. I would try to get by with as few changes from stock as possible. I just wouldn't feel comfortable with two bolts on each each side but YMMV.

Can anyone explain how these camber bolts affect how a wheel is positioned? I need a way to visualize this!

Please hold scanning the instruction page right now with all the fact boyzs!

I placed it on top. Immediately felt a difference. I went 3/4 turn. If the piece that sticks out is installed facing away from the tire, it's negative according to the instructions. We did loosen up the lower bolt a bit to get easier movement.
