Adjustable Camber Bolt Alignment Install
Finally got the ST in for an alignment today. I was enthusiastically thanked for the alignment bolts.
They were pretty straight forward, just wish I had installed them while I was replacing my ball joints.
1. Make sure you change one bolt at a time. this keeps the control arms aligned in their saddles and the bolt holes aligned.
2. When installing each bolt, do them in this order:
Bolt head, large adjustable washer, small washer, control arm, small washer, large adjustable washer, nut. According to 2 different techs.
3. The only issues were removing 2 of the old bolts due to the welded on alignment plates. Just turn them a half tun when sliding out to get around piping and hoses.
