Why people fix camber bolts ?.... Coz the camber specifications is out of range and no adjustment to correct them to specifications due to the the construction of the suspension system itself (especially Mac Pherson Strut for front suspension). Before adapting camber bolts, ensure all associate components such as absorber mounting, bearings etc are in good conditions. These parts also contribute to Camber specifications out of tolerence.
Wrong Camber caused uneven tire wear (Inner/Outer side) over the period and produces abnormal tire noise while driving. User can feel the different responsive on the wheel via the steering during driving (cornering etc) .
If decide not to use Camber bolt to fix the problem (out of specs), the only thing we can do is to replace the absorbers/strut/wheel knuckle completely which is mose costly. Camber bolt invention is to off set/correct the Camber specification which is not possible in the first place. If the Camber reading is too far outside the specifications given, no way Camber bolt is the answer to fix the problem.
