Help! Broke Cusco camber plate stud bolt.
02 Imprezza WRX.
As the post indicates. I must be a idiot, but ever since I've had my Cusco adjustable camber plates, the driver side has been rattling like crazy. I tightened the bolts down and that seemed to cure the problem temporarily, but it came back. However, today I torqued one of the bolts down too much and voila' it sheared right off. They came on the car when I bought it along with the factory Sti suspension. I don't autocross and have the camber set at zero, so I was thinking of just doing the Sti rubber top mounts. Does anyone have any suggestions. I don't think I can buy just one Cusco camber plate since they're sold in pairs. Any suggestions where to buy either of these items: 1 Cusco or a pair of Sti top mounts. Thanks, and yes I know I'm an idiot

One of the 3 mounting bolts or one of the 4 for camber adjustment.
If it's one of the three mounting bolts, you can use a regular bolt. The original bolt is pressed into the plate, tap it from above and it will pop out. Replace with a 8mm grade 10 bolt of correct length. Only drawback is now you will need to use a wrench on the bolt head under the fender.

Your your PBM was rattling, it means the PB itself was loose. You can tighten it from the bottom of the PBM.
What part exactly did you break? Can you show me a pic. I might have some replacement parts.
