camber bolts

ye or ne

is it worth using camber bolts to adjust camber do they move at all ?

or is it best just to elongate the holes in the shocks ?

Hey mate. Ive run camber bolts on my nova and thet do the job, but they are a pain in the backside! i bought them from my local big tyre/wheel dealer (elitedirect.com) for £10 each, they cost £10 to have them fitted and then £10 each to adjust!!!! Last time I went there for tracking and camber adjustment it cost me £70! Im sure they would knock out of alignment after a years driving, plus anytime you had to take the frony leg or hub carrier off they needed adjusting again. :mad:
I'd advise save up and get some eliptical top mounts instead.

as i thought, my nova is quite low on the front about 80ish mm and running mega camber issues scrubbing tyres out every 2000 miles only about a inch on the inside, top mounts seem a good idea, didnt think abou them before, :) cheers

Adam i done the mod brains said about on a mates car, it would be fine for you providing you never change the suspension.

Otherwise camber bolts are good, can get them roughly right yourself.

to be honest i would fit camber adjustable top mounts, this means you can then adjust camber and castor and they wont move on you either, a litlle bit more expensive to do but gives you piece of mind and also saves you butchering anything and makes the suspension do the work rather than the rubber bush which is always a good thing :thumb:
