Do you have camber bolts in the rear? if so what ones did you use?

oh, and did you use 2 camber bolts up front per strut?

I would strongly recommend against that lol. Unless you mod the strut/hub to take a second factory camber bolt, even then they still break occasionally :eek::shake:

i have a 2 inch lift in the front and i cant get my camber back to close to stock. what else could i do?
 
Brent.lee, I think you could use camber plates.

I don't know much about them but they either go on top of or replace your top hats to give you adjustment to move the top oh your struts inward.
 
Do your strut top spacers have camber offset? Do you know how much?

Camber plates would be ideal or you can slot the strut tower holes 10mm to give you ~.75deg more neg camber.

I know Dirty Impreza advocate a second aftermarket camber bolt in the front but I don't like it
 
but i would have to slot the bottom strut bolt hole and the rear upper?
 
Mods, can you pull this out of EJs build thread?

Nah brent, aftermarket camber bolts work in round holes, no slotting needed. They are weaker though and cant even be tightened to factory specs.
 
crap! sorry EJ i didnt realize i was jacking your thread. thanks all!
 
Another option is to slot the lower camber bolt holes and weld on some washers. The idea been to get your desired camber within range of the top factory adjustable bolt.
 
nah, my top plates dont allow for any adjustment. I realized i really need to start my own thread and take pics. I trail ride almost everyday. they are small 4 wheeler trails but its fun and relaxing nonetheless.
