Title: Alignment issues
Post by: Linemonkey on November 18, 2017, 10:31:12 AM
Ok, I need some help. After installing H&R springs, my local alignment shop can't get it aligned. I bought the 84130 bolts, but he says they're for the front. I've read all the posts about this issue and I explained it to him before he started, but to no avail. He says it can't be done because of the control arm. I know that's not the case. So, should I have bought the 81280s, or do I just need to take it to a dealer? Thanks guys

81280 is for the rear, if you need them, I have a set in my garage, brand new in box.

The front do not need new camber bolts.
The Rear will need the Specialty 81280 camber bolts as kindly suggested above by Cror1.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask.  Z  :)

I'll take you up on that. Msg me and let me know what you want for them. This guy says its not possible without an aftermarket control arm, which I know isn't true. I'll get the 81280s and take it to a dealer, I guess. Local yokels....

 On a good note, mechanics and customers keep walking over to check it out, so that helps ease my temper haha

Here's my very own thread with the alignment specs and all from the Ford Dealer since we have virtually the same vehicle.  Z
Best of luck.

although i never had to install them i had the 84130's handy when i did the rear springs on mine. i see no reason they wouldn't work. they are the exact same length and size of the stock spindle bolt. make sure your mechanic knows it's the UPPER spindle bolt in the rear that you install the bolt

 Just so you guys know that cam bolt kit will not move the camber out enuff by just turning bolt. You need to have some one pull the tire all the way out and someone under the car ready to hammer bolt down when you pull it in spec!! You don't need the cam bolt just a smaller diameter bolt (that cam bolt kit is smaller diameter that's why it works) that is of high-grade. Been doing feas for over 20 years...
THANKS Skydog

84130

IMHO if the 84130 works I would use it. It has way more area touching the inside of the spindle.

But it's also double the price for the pair.

Does anyone have the 81280 on hand and the capability to measure.
Here's the 84130 I have
