Camber bolt slipped in the rear. Car still safe to drive to a shop?
#31
rear camber bolts always need to be checked, I would get some good plates. (Never know when the last person that touched it torqued it down correctly)
There are always people arguing about not having a problem at all, but still has a risk. Having no camber bolts, no risk!
The problem is how small it is and not like the front oem ones.
At many stores sold as crash bolts I wonder why? (Pretty easy guess)
And if you don't have coilovers and need it to clear the strut to have to use both??? Don't know what kind of functionality it would be.
It is just a 19mm box wrench or socket will do the trick for the bolts.
Get some white out
Adjust it
Eyeball it
Not good enough adjust a lil more? Profit! Safe to drive to alignment shop or anywhere for you to remove the bolts and get some good camber plates =D

They are definitely not called crash bolts because they make you prone to crashing.

I agree... they are not as strong as the OEM straight bolts and thus have more risk than stock. However, they also do not slip at the drop of a hat either, which is the point of people saying what they've done and not have them slip.
I think it's because when people crash, they bend suspension stuff. The camber bolts can be used to correct the slightly bent suspension.
