Camber Bolts in Rear
I've seen one member make mention of having these bolts in the rear, that they acquired from Perrin. I am interested in this as I don't feel I need the extra hundred dollar Whiteline camber bushings.
Any suspension experts have opinions on using this in the rear? I don't see why it would be any riskier or not useful than using them on the fronts. |
The risk is that they were designed to be used up front and have to be ground down slightly to work in the rear. From what I've seen there's no real risk, but the manufacturers won't support it if you've modified the bolt at all.
|
I've seen a few people running these in the rear:
H&R Camber Bolts I'm hoping others can chime in, because I'm looking to do it myself. For $50, I wouldn't mind getting a little more camber in the rear. |

From the tech at Perrin, the H&R TC112 bolts are the ones you need (but do need modification). I'd imagine the 12mm SPC bolts could work too.
|
So were do these install in the rear? Lca I assume
|
They can be used once ground down. From my personal preference, I know I will probably make additional suspension changes in the future, and it makes more sense to spend a few extra dollars to have the extra adjustability.
|
Just like a camber bolt would be utilized in the front, in the upper of the two bolts that secure the bottom of the strut/shock.
|
i'm interested in this as well, except to remove rear camber.

If you're so inclined you should do a DIY guide, there's so much misinformation about this that a proper guide would clear up.

this is what needs to be done to the bolts.
It installs on the inner most hole of the control arm. Not sure how much adjustment this allows but I was able to correct .5- .6 or negative camber which was all I needed. |
I just installed the H&R TC112 bolts - the threads did not need to be ground down. The threads rested entirely outside the bolt hole and did not interfere with the cam adjustment. Strange. H&R also makes a shorter 12 mm bolt called TC212; maybe those are what you had, not the 112. Or maybe there are two different LCA that were produced? Beats me.
Anyway, it looks like I got some decent camber out of it. Original bolt on top - actually the nut would be tightened in about 3 more threads when installed. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8534/8...1896aace_c.jpg |
update - just got a wheel alignment done. Rear camber maxed out at -1.3°.
Not a lot of camber with this method, but certainly better than stock. I'll probably upgrade to adjustable lower control arms next year. |
Isn't stock camber -1 degree?
|
It varies. I got about half a degree out of the camber bolts. Not too impressive.
|
If I could add a half degree one side and remove half a degree from the other I'd be happy. This is a much simpler solution for most people as we really need some basic adjustment.
I reckon it's a conspiracy that companies aren't releasing a bolt! -> Forces people to buy arms! Many other cars have this bolt for adjustment. Why is this car different? |

Fantastic. These are perfect for people like myself that only need to dial out 1/2* of camber after lowering on springs. There are a ton of threads saying these don't exist for out cars. Oh happy day.
Thanks! |

Also I would look on eBay cause I got mine for $35. |
I also found these. They only seem to be available from overseas.

So Is this confirmed because it seems way better than paying $200-$600 for arms to fix camber after lowering 1in.
|
Yes, but like others have said it only adjusts +/- .5 so not a lot but can even out the sides or add a little more if you want.
LCA can add a TON more camber but cost a lot more money. But for a 1" drop you 1. might not even need these bolts. 2. the bolts would work to make sure you're even on both sides. |
Would the OEM Crash bolts work just as well? I imagine they would be cheaper.
