Which size camber bolts?

Kool PT · February 3, 2009, 16:21

Noticed that one of my rear wheels has excessive wear on the outside so think I need to adjust alignment. Just wondered why there were 2 sizes of whiteline camber/'crash' bolts and which one I need?

I'm running standard 15"s all around, with Tein springs.

PS are there any additional benefits in going for Che's camber adjusting arms?

I think they are called "rear track arms"

IIRC, there were three OEM adjustment bolts and a combination of them resulted in even more camber corrections.

You really should check your camber, before guessing which ones you need.

so get an alignment check locally first you mean?

true but they are all just smaller bolts, they have no means to lock them in place

Save yourself some money, get the Megan or Che arms first - I prefer Megan s:D

s:D , fit them roughly to the size of the one's you have pulled off, then go for a alignment check for final adjustment.

One big advantage is it removes the inner rubber joint with a very nice tight pillow ball joint, which reduces flex in the back wheel alignment.

Thanks Rob, I like the look of the che ones. no doubt the megan ones are superior but for a hundred quid a pair the che ones look like they would do the job.

I'm not sure to be honest, but both will give you the same benefit s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

The only tie bar you can't really adjust on the car is the rear toe adjuster arm, you just can't get to the locking nut. s:roll: :roll: s:roll:
