If you can take out one of the bolts to bring with you to the hardware store, do that. Then let us know what size.

Default Washers and Bolts

Rear CamberCorrection

I would grab a selection of 1/64 to 1/8 M10 washers and M10 x 1.25 x 40 metric flange bolts (Grade 10.9 hardened low-alloy steel). It is dependent on how much camber you need to correct. If less than 1.7 degrees at present stick with it, unless it is uneven from side to side. You only need to use the bolts if you stack more that two 1/8 washers.

Would this work for a G2 teg also?

Could the bolts and washers be bought from like homedepot?

You want to use 1/16" hardened steel washers.

Ok so how many (what size) washers would you need per degree of negative camber?

I have about 2.4 and 2.6 on my right and left rear wheels right now.

Using the ghetto method is fine for a little camber. Ingalls makes a ghetto kit and it is only longer bolts and washers and is only good for .75 degrees of correction with the 2 longer bolts and 3 per side washers you get. Not only that but is like $16.
