I had an alignment done and my mechanic said the camber for both front wheels is +0.5°, which is the upper limit. I would ignore it but the steering doesn't feel as precise as it used to, and the front tires look weird with the tops sticking out. Since the factory camber isn't adjustable, he said to buy cam bolts to put into the top strut holes.
I looked on Rock Auto and there are several available. I don't have any experience with this stuff. Are Moog and AC Delco bolts good? I noticed they come as 14mm bolts, while the factory ones are 19. Is this a problem? I don't want them to loosen up after hitting potholes.
I pulled struts off a car last week that has camber bolts. Both were torqued tighter than I any strut bolts I have ever removed. One came out ok. The other was seized and broke. Rust had filled the empty space due to the offset design.
They are smaller than stock which is part of how they work. Not a problem. As I said, they were super tight.
I can't say what brand to buy. I can say grease or anti seize the hole in knuckle during installation.
