Installing Front Camber/Castor Bolts & Thrust Arm Bushings (Possible DIY)
#201
Perhaps the strut to hub bracket is different from Splinters, there is NO way it'd fit in my model year (2006. Snuck a peek at an 07 and it was the exact same situation). The bolt hole wasn't big enough for the small inner tab, nor would the bracket even have allowed 360 degree rotation.
Going to return the set to O'reily and use the $30 towards 2 of the fluted bolts.

I regret the omission.

I have the SPC eccentric bolts along with the C55 springs and dampers ready to install.

I've just purchased the SPC eccentric bolts and found out they DO NOT FIT, wasted my time.
I was expecting to adjust my camber for the coming TD but it look like i dont have time now as the SPC bolts are crap and dont work.
If anyone has a installation guild please let me know, as it doesn't fit in any of the holes.

This $%#& eccentric bolt won't go in my strut to hub bolt hole (the only bolt hole, there isn't an upper/lower).
I got 81260 from SPC.
The small inner tab on the washer will NOT go inside the bolt hole.
Even if it would, the design of the strut bracket won't allow the tabbed washer to rotate 360 degrees to dial in camber.
This is a $30 piece of crap.

My Bad, Funning my SPC chart does not have it as a fit but some other sites have it as a MBZ fit. SPC does have some 2/3 like bolts that are said to be adjustment bolts, but with that mucha significant amount of metal gone and only one bolt holding the control arm at the pivot, are you willing to trust it?

However the position of each arm does slightly affect the adjustment of the other. There is a table of positions that show, for each combination of upper and lower bolt positions, what the caster and camber adjustment both are.
