Hi guys,

My coilovers have an extended slot where the strut bolts to the hub,

How is camber supposed to be set with these as at the moment im just setting the camber and using the pinch bolts to keep it tight.

I know eibach make camber adjusting bolts but are these for struts with two round hole's only? I cant see how they would work on a strut where the top hole is englongated.

Cheers

As far as I know what you're doing is right. Set it and tighten the bolt so it (hopefully) doesn't move.

You need to put it on a tracking machine afterwards to check both sides are the same and you're not running positive camber or too much negative, after that tighten the top bolt with a windy gun so it doesn't move when you hit a pot hole

If you were to use the Eibach bolts you could always weld thick washers over the elongated holes
