Eibach camber alignment kit on front knuckle

Hello:

I have the Eibach camber alignment bolts on the strut mount which attaches to the knuckle unit. Using the diagrams on page FA-20 and FA-21 in the Nissan shop manual, would the adjustment bolt be the upper or lower one. I would guess it would be the lower one.
As far as I know, it is just a bolt with an elliptical off center axis with respect to the head of the bolt.

I was going to play around with it since I've noticed that my front left tire has very even wear but the inside edges on the right side are a lot worse. Gotta go shopping for the right size drivers for now.

Does this adjustment throw off the toe angle?

Thanks

This is correct. For a good diagram go to http://www.ingallseng.com/parts/3542.htm Note step 3 in the installation instructions.

what type of springs do you have?

Listen what type of springs are you have on? I had Intrax and I started having the same problem this is what I did, I loosened both bolts the top and the bottom, now theyre a little loose pull on the brake drum on the top now tighten the bottom and then the top that fixed my camber problem and my tires quit wearing on the inside I did order the Eibach camber bolts but I just pulled on that and solved the problem.
