you do know what a camber bolt looks like?? its a small off centre bolt .... by turning the bolt around, you can allow the bolt to shuffle its gap side hence being able to change the setting - its kinda like looking at a sun and moon gear

on cars such as the BJ series the toe in and out, is adjustable via the cam bolt on the control arm... hmm i should say lateral link - this is where the main bearing of lateral movement is taken

when cam bolts are used they should be properly toqued as well as set in place with loctite, as mazda does when they ship vehicles from the factory, as does the majority of suspension and motor mechanics alike

loctite heavily retards the loosening of bolts caused by vibration of the parts by expanding slightly within joints.... as its anerobic it never actally sets properly outside of the joint




camber bolts are designed to take the stresses across the bolt, but are ineffective if not properly installed (like anything - from speakers to suspension, to a bloody letter box!!!)

OEM strut bolts arn't anything fantastic... and why? coz they don't have to be. they are designed to tie the hub assembly to the stut housing and take stresses slightly over that of spirirted road driving...

trailing arms, control links, lateral links are whats in place to keep a strong grip on the hub, things such as sway bars are optional and not nescessary, but they help as do things such as roll cages


all in all in competiion i wouldn't use them - but for road use (and possibly occasional track use) they are goign to be fine really
