Camber Bolts

Does our car have them built in?

And also, are our steering arms in front of the hub spindle?

you either bend the control arem or buy a camber kit. ingalls has a upper control arm replacement that looks good.

I have heard that this method is not best if you drive the car hard around turns and shit, is that true? No matter what, thats what i am doing with my car when i have my camber probs next week.

unless u use some weak bolt i dont see how that would be an issue. the longer bolt grabs all the threads and is just as secure as before. use at least grade 8 or higher bolt. in order to brake anything you would have to drive in such a way that you would prob brake something anyways. i used 2 washers which thickess is anbout 4 mm. ur really not moving it too much at all. i could see if you had to correct alot of camber then this is prob not a good idea like a 3" drop.

you could still use the washers with a 3" drop but probably not get perfect camber, as in use 3-4 washers but not 6 or whatever it will take to correct the camber.... but at least correct it enough so you don't look /------\ in the back.

I wack turns constantly, and I have no problems. Just make sure to torque to spec and use some loc tite. I would try looking into adjustable control arms. Do a search, I posted a site where you can buy them.
