Default diy rear camber adjustment

i already know how to do it... what i don't konw(too lazy to take the bolt out to check) is the THREAD SIZE AND PITCH of the 2 bolts.

**can somebody please tell me(thread size and pitch) so i can go to the hardware store ahead of time to purchase them. it will also help if you tell me what length(how long)?

be carefull. Make sure you're getting the right grade bolts. Not a lot of hardware stors sell metric bolts that are strong enough for use in suspension.

Don't be confused with grade 8.8 metric bolts they're NOT the same strength as an SAE grade 8 bolt.

You want at least Metric grade 10.9 or 12.9 bolts and make sure the washers you're going to use are hardened steel. You don't want then crushing at all when you tighten the bolts.

Made in Tiawan or USA? I wouldn't drive or ride in a car with that crap holding the suspension together Like I said make sure you get good bolts.

I think you missed the point there, nowhere on the label is there any info about what grade the bolts are, i.e. how strong they are. Cheap *** bolts are no good here, no matter if they are made in Taiwan or the USA. As already mentioned, grade 10.9 or 12.9 with matching quality washers is what you want, after all your life depends on these bolts to hold up.

Don't be a freakin retard. For one, they say made in Taiwan or USA but as Pondus mentioned there's no grade on them. So, no they're not the same thing. I'm pretty damn sure I still wouldn't run taiwanese grade 10.9 bolts because I'm not going to bet my life on cheap labor. If one of those bolts snaps you're in deep ****.

Oh and WTF is a rabor fee? Tard

OK, either you're a complete ******* idiot or you're bad at being sarcastic. How can anyone compare exhaust hanger hardware to rear suspension hardware. I would run grade 5 (or metric grade 8.8) on something less critical, but never on a suspension piece.

Now go away. Happy Monday morning.

I'd go with 12.9 if they're metric and at least grade 8 if they're not. Were they cap screws (i.e. hex head)? If so the metric ones will most likely be 12.9, but I'd make sure before putting any on the car.

Powerslot bought the AEM big brake kit rights from AEM and are still selling them. From the pics they look like cap screws. You might want to contact them to see what specs they are.
