My H&R springs did not go 100% either. I had to buy camber bolts by Specialty products Co. #81280. The top bolt in the rear does not adjust enough to get the 0.5 to 1.5 deg camber in the rear.

I got this part but the shop is telling me the bolt is too short. Can you please tell me how you installed it or maybe show a picture which bolt it replaces? Thanks

Sorry I don't have any pics. My mechanic flips off the camera every time I try to take a pic. I'm curious why they said the bolt was short? When I removed the stock springe the tag on them showed SHO/PP. Did yours?

I'm not 100% but I believe Mike (EPP) mentioned in one of his suspension posts early on that you have to use a shallow/thinner nut.

That makes sense because the nut is too thick to grab on and tighten it. Do you know which thread it was.

The nut used must be shallower.

I authored that "How-To" quite a few years ago.

Mind you it's been 5yrs, but from what I recall, the nut supplied by Specialty Products with their adjustable rear camber bolt, was hitting on something.

It forced me to research/purchase a shallower in height nut.

No problems whatsoever since I originally performed this mod.
