Help camber bolts installation

Is this the correct orientation? Do I need that plate showed on the second picture? It seems it does not fit well to my struts. Thanks

The tab should point in the direction you want the wheel to go. An example would be towards the outside for positive camber and towards inside for negative adjustment, you want it at 3 or 9 o'clock.

As for that spacer washer piece, I have never seen one of those on a front camber bolt kit, could be a lockout for an oem camber bolt, I wouldnt worry about it. GL

that plate is not for this car. that tab should be facing the engine not vertical. if neg camber is what you are after. If there is a arrow on the bolt head by the tab that arrow needs to face the tire if you want max neg camber.

But the adjuster was blocked by the strut assembly. See picture 1. Is that ok to set up that way? I want max neg camber.

That will do for now, but if you really wanted the full adjustment it's best to have it directly horizontal, if ya can cut the tab or trim the washer and remember where it was could be a solution for that situation

If it gets you the desired camber you were after, just leave it as it is. If not, get some camber tops instead.

This post made me realize there is no DIY for OEM camber bolt install. Someone should post one up

According to Whiteline, you have it on backwards.
