You don't need camber bolts.  :smiley:

Trick is to loosen the bolts, refit the wheels and drop it back on the floor, then set it, nip it back up, jack back up, remove wheels and tighten fully.

Refit wheel then have coffee / tea as required.  :smiley:

Ah, very good idea.  I have just fiited coilovers and i have way too much neg camber.  I will try this tonight.  Hopefully move my tyre away from the strut too.

Hope it was ok to bring up an old thread..

I bought some of them Eibach camber bolts.A bit dear for a couple of bolts with a cam on but they do the job and im quite pleased with them,It just helps with the finer adjustment rather than pulling and pushing the strut like your w4anking it off,trying to get it right :grin:

They tend to loosen over time. Better off just using standard bolts and adjusting til both sides have an equal touch of negative camber. Shouldn't take long, 20-30mins.
