I need a set of camber bolts for the rear on my 2014 Xsport.
The guys at alignment place are taking forever. H&R doesn't sell any for my truck(just springs. That makes no sense)
Does anyone know who makes a camber bolt that will work for the Xsport?
Thx

Stupid question but it bears asking, did you show them the available range of motion in the system without the bolt?  My alignment guys thought they needed the adjustment bolt too, till I had them loosen the top bolt and just shove with all their might.  The wheel straightened right up into spec.

I bought camber bolts but didn't need them for  my Flex.   You installer just has to "muscle" them into spec. 

If you need a set, I can look up what I paid for them  ($25. est) and I would sell.  They are somewhere in my garage... Can provide pix if interested.

I originally wrote up the "How-To" on this issue, wwwwwaaaayyyy back when.

It was transferred to this site, and is located here:  http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php?topic=611.0

IIRC, the part number, as well as where to purchase them from, is located within that thread.

That is of course, if EBB can't find his set.

On the SHO's at least, there is a slot located on the rear upper spindles, where, if a tech truly muscled, or "He-manned" the crap out of it, near OEM alignment specs could be achieved.

But the friend of mine over at H&R, who works in the research & development dept, was the one who provided this information to/for me.

They don't sell the parts directly, therefore, it makes sense that they wouldn't have any product listing for them.

The adjustable cam bolts just make the process of alignment, post spring install, a helluva lot easier.

Very true, all of it.

Interesting to note that per the service manual, this alignment adjustment is maxed out negative by factory default, and that while adjustment of it is in the manual, almost NO alignment machine will show it.  You have to show THEM.  Also re:  the muscling, if the vehicle is lifted to where there is no real weight on the suspension, then the whole effort drops a great deal.  Otherwise you are battling leverage and gravity, and they are worthy opponents.    :)

EBB,
If you think what you have will fit my XSport?(I'm not mchanical) then I will take yours if you can find them.
Send me a PM with your price and shipping to NJ, 08753. And I will send you my email for pay pal payment....

Thanks
