Whiteline camber rear bolts? Just checking I have fitted them correctly? I have fitted them into the upper strut hole (as I am currently -2 camber and want to add positive adjustment to bring it back to -1.5 ish) and the large tab on the washer facing outwards. However, the bolts only seem to fit in one direction ( I was careful to install the new bolt in exactly the same way the old bolt was removed, so the nut is the same side as the one removed and the bolt went in the same way the old bolt came out) but this is no guarantee that they are correct. Taking great pains to follow the install guides, it seems that both sides of the rear axle have the adjuster tab on the left hand side as you look at the wheel/hub. So instead of mirroring each other (adjuster tabs both being to the front of the car, the OSR bolt tab is towards the engine and the NSR bolt tab is towards the front of the car).Is this correct or do I need to try and re-install one of them?
Thanks

I put them both back through the way the original bolts went, so nut towards the rear of the car (IIRC). And yes, Upper hole for mine as well, as per instructions, although I've seen others recommend the lower hole.

I was pondering this the other night

Do I need camber bolts for Che Rear arms?

Yes the only adjustable bottom arm is for toe not camber

I think the CHE track arms are adjustable length, but that's an absolutely horrible way to adjust camber. It needs to be done at the hub knuckle/strut join.

So I've fitted mine wrong then as one of my adjuster tabs is to the rear of the car and the other is to the front!   s:?: :?: s:?:

No idea where mine are as I didn't install them.
But I'm reasonably sure mine are in the bottom with the tab towards the back.
