This has been very briefly covered before but i figured i would make sure everyone in the 6GC community knows. If you want a camber kit you can order through a Toyota dealership. They actually have them, they call them CRASH BOLTS. There are three different kinds, one with one dot, two dots, and three dots on them. All the dots represent are the amount of degrees allowed in the camber adjustment. I will try to find the part numbers (i cant remember who gave them to me) and then ill post back. But they are only like 7 dollars a bolt. (You need one or two bolts per wheel, pending on how much adjustment is needed) So they are cheap, and work perfectly...........Hopefully this helps out a lot of people.

i dropped 3 -3 1/4 and cut springs and it rides like normal(exept for bumps of course killer) and they dont tilt

no problem trdproven. The shop said i might need the bolts the next time around when i do alignment. which he said you have to do every 12,000 miles. So i'll be good for a year and a half, if not longer.

What I dont understand is how a longer bolt will allow for a greater adjustment. I have too much negative camber (-1.6) and it is causing wearing on the inner tires. What camber kit should I be looking for?

The ones I have.

Where exactly do these camber bolts go? And how does it help reduce camber?

the best way i can describe a camber bolt is like this, its a bolt shaped sort of like a pinball flipper, and you adjust it to your liking or the shop will

So where does it go on the car? i've never really understood them.
I'm lowered on tien s techs 1" in the back and 1.5" in the front.
Do I need camber bolts?
On the allignment print outThe rear camber was at the msot allowable camber, i think -1.5 or -1.6

it really depends on the shop. hopefully they are honest to you and say then say you need camber bolts when in reality you don't. I got my alignment two years ago with 2.2 inch drop in front and 1.5 in the rear and I bought camber bolts but didn't need them that time. I'm doing alignment in about 3 weeks. So hopefully my lowering springs haven't dropped significantly enough to the point where I'm going to have them install my camber bolts that I bought two years ago. If they do use camber bolts with the alignment, they will charge an extra $20 per wheel or so.

Well I dropped mine myself.
And when I did the allignment the printout said that the most allowable negative camber was -1.6, and thats what my car was at, so they didn't need to adjust it. But should I be worried about tire wear or anything like that?

Cars come from the factory with negative camber. That's probably just the factory specs.

alright thanks man

So those crash bolts. Anyone have pics or tell me how they work? Them links are too old and none of them are working out for me. I'm in need of rear camber bolts.

Found these eibach camber bolt for the rear. I just want to know if they will fit my car? I have a st204 with megan coilovers.

they will fit

That's good to know. Im tired of the extreme camber look.

i bet your tires are tired as well

^they look identical to the ones I have, you spin the bolt when you tighten it, and it will push the hub out, or in, depending what you want.

Just make sure if YOU do it, tighten the bolts as much as you can. I've gone driving afterwards and it's popped back into its original place, and had negative camber again.

Yes they are. Lol.



That's something I'm expecting. I'm pretty sure it's just a skinnier bolt with a flap that rotates around. Pushing the top of the strut outward or inward. Which makes the negative or positive camber as desired.
