Camber bolts - Toyota Yaris Forums

Anyone order camber bolts off of ebay and have a recommendation?

I'm ordering some Monday and with such a large selection it'd be nice if one of you could recommend a specific type based off of a successful experience.

I'm looking for about -1.5 degrees, nothing crazy. Just enough the keep my new summer wheels away from my fenders and enough to improve cornering.

Thanks

thanks for the recommendation

OEM crash bolts will (in theory) take you to -1.5, depending on what was installed at the factory. They don't give you the ease of adjustment that eccentric bolts do, but they're tested to OEM specification.

The issue w/ the oem ones is I have no idea how to adjust them to their max negative camber. I'd rather just use proper camber bolts so I know how they're adjusted

The OEMs have smaller diameters for larger adjustment combinations. You just push/pull the hub as far as it will go and tighten down the bolts. Unless you have an alignment rig, you don't really know how far it is, or if it's the same on both sides.

That's where I am at this point. I've tried to hold the knuckle in the position I want for negative camber when tightening them down but it's a crap shoot whether I holds or not. Camber bolts are the easiest solution

Any local alignment shop has them. Likely Part Source as well. I can recommend a good alignment guy near Burlington if you need. He builds and tunes race cars.

I ended up getting them online as Parts Source didn't have them in stock and was pricey to order them.

Please let me know who you'd recommend for alignment. I'm tired of going to shops that only align within oem wide specs and refuse to even give me rear alignment numbers simply because they don't adjust them. I've been looking for a reputable place West of the city for a while now

Scott has recently moved but is still nearby just off Hwy 6, not far north of Hwy. 5 (Dundas). He adjusted my front camber to my requested spec after adding driver weight compensation to the program to match my bulk. He also noted that the right rear was toed in just past factory spec but not enough to warrant the labour required to add shims.
He's not the chattiest guy but knows his stuff.
Here's his website.
