*All* Yarises have camber bolts. There are no part numbers for non-camber bolts (I asked when I was buying bolts because I had no idea what to get). All bolts holding the knuckle to the strut have a range of degrees that you can set the camber to, top and bottom.
You don't need to buy bolts unless you want major adjustments. Minor adjustments can be made without changing any parts. You just turn the bolt. That's it. Equally, if you wanted to ridiculously adjust the toe of the car (Why? Well, I'll answer that with why would you want camber adjusted more than a tiny bit?), you'd need to figure out a way to extend the inner tie rods, so based on the idea that major adjustments that require buying stuff aren't adjustments at all, toe wouldn't count either. I've attached the actual diagrams of what the bolts mean for camber. Who knows, it might come in handy for someone someday... |

Thanks for the info everyone. I guess so far with the miles I have I am doing well. The roads here in North Carolina are pretty good compared to most states. We pay for it though with one of the highest gas taxes. The ole Yar car is tougher than it looks. I have nailed a large Raccoon and a few hefty chunks of interstate rubber with only cosmetic damage. She is still going strong clocking the 180 mile a day trip. I would buy another but with this one being "field" tested I am not sure the new one will be as good.

Even with the factory sized bolts you can get a little adjustment out of the camber. Usually it's enough to even out the camber so that the customer won't have a lead, but not enough for performance. Anytime you change camber you need to set the toe or your tires will suffer. Small camber changes usually = large toe changes. Cheers. |

For a daily driver non performance use I would think the factory holds are plenty fine. But if you don't have excessive tire wear don't bother with an allignmen
