I have been having trouble with changing lanes on freeway, especially with worn lanes.  It jumps dramatically when moving from one lane to another.  Well when I was getting ready for next modifications I noticed that drivers side wheel slumped when I was jacking it up, and found the camber adjustment bolt loose.  Well I thought it was too loose, and I was right
It was Broke


I was just telling someone on here that they were good to use.  I won't be using them now, especially with 33's.

ya, there good for some smaller tires, but ive got mine with 31's and when i pickup new struts im going to be slotting the holes and welding washers once the alignment is done. much stronger but a bit more work. just waiting for my squeaky stock ones to crap out or me to just get sick of them and buy new ones.

I've been using camber bolts with my 32's for years, never a problem breaking one. I did however strip one and when replacing it I looked up the torque, it's only 80 ft lbs, so it can be easy to over torque one and stretch it too far. I've also thought of going to the next bigger size, 9/16th I think, and just boring the spindle a bit bigger to fit, but that's only If I need to.

I had this happen when i was running 30X9.5X15, now that I am going to 33's I will slot the upper hole and use a large washer for the alignment.  What surprised me was that both ends were still in it, I have been chasing this gremlin for a while.  It could have been really ugly if both ends had fallen out.  I do not know if they were over torqued last year when it was aligned, but this problem started after running some real gnarly road/trails in Montana.

Who knows, coulda just been a crappy piece of steel it was made from. Glad it didn't cause you to loose control and worse. Gotta watch those guys with their air tools though. I've seen them tighten bolts with absolutely no regard for proper torque value. The average lug nut is only supposed to be 80 ft lbs, an unregulated air gun will put 150 or more into it easily. Ever try and get a lug nut off after some monkey at a tire shop hammered them on? They're all about fast and liability. Don't want any lug nuts falling off.
I guess I've been lucky so far with my camber bolts. I did notice yours is quite dry, I always slather mine with anti seize before I put them in, pretty much the same with all the hardware down there or any that I r+r. So much water here, rust and corrosion are the enemy.

Yes, & I've also gotten really dirty looks when I tell them to use a torque wrench... like it's that hard. Me: "Too bad pal... I've been stuck off-road with a flat I couldn't change cuz of you monkeys & your impact gun... torque it right! t-,-t"

I was worried about this when I put some in my desert racer, but I have 350 race miles on them with no problems and I have taken hard enough hits to bend the frame.  I only run 235/75/15 though.
