Looks like the bolt broke/backed out. No nut on the end? Cant really tell tho cuz your pics are not even an inch by an inch.

Looks like a lawsuit waiting to hapen to me tho.

Sooo...you know what's wrong? Are you giving us a riddle? I don't get it...pics are too small to see anyway. I guess the bolt backed out? I don't see the point of this thread.

k now that everyone can see thanks for that man

the picture on the right you can see where the supposed to be welded nut has been broken and someone has stripped it out with a pair of vice grips making it impossible to tighten also it seems like the rear camber arm is not even the right one ... is there a difference in size between eg and ek?

If so does anybody have 96-00 rear camber arm?

But it's looking like i'm going to have to take the rear trailing arm off and take it somewhere to have the nut welded back on
