$14.10 for each camber bolt?
I just went to the dealership and bought four front camber bolts at $14.10 each. Is this the correct price? Should I return them? Anyone know what the correct price is? Thanks! I hate paying rediculus prices at the dealership!

To be on the safe side... did you get the oval washers with the bolts? Because if it's just a bolt with a circle washer... then the bolts won't adjust any camber at all. From my experience. You kinda have to give them the VIN number so they give you the exact correct washer.
And YES that sounds about right from the d(st)ealership.

The washers that I have are a circle but they are flat on one part. Almost a full circle but not entirely, if that helps. Are these the ones that you are talking about that will not work? Why will they not? The part number starts with 202. Thanks!

Basically, the bolts are just bolts... whether they are the original ones that came w/ the car or the ones you got from the dealer. The bolts doesn't adjust anything. There's a groove in the control arm, that lets you turn the washer and adjusts the camber.
I was at wheel works and their technician guys showed me from under the car that by turning my circle washer, it doesn't adjust anything. If it were oval, shaped to the oval portion of the arm, then by turning the washer you adjust the camber. Sorry I didn't snap any pics to detail for you guys. I got so frustrated that I bought what I thought would adjust my camber, paid the labor to have it put in, and 0 results.
Let me know how yours turned out. I hope your results are better than mine. Or if you can snap a picture of the washer, I can tell you if that will work or not.
