ok so my dad took his car (01 pt cruiser) in for an alignment and was told he needed some aftermarket camber bolts to get his right front tire within specs. firestone quoted $160 to have it done and i thought thats a bit high. ive done alignments before so i know how it all works but just curious on what needs to happen for the aftermarket adjusters to be installed. i know someone here has experience with camber bolts so please edumacate me on the aftermarket stuff.

hahaha yes im sure your dad needs his car drilled and welded in order to drive straight. Those PT cruisers put down a lot of torque, especially since your dad was probably constantly pushing it to its limits

wow reading things like this make me hate shops. haha. I bought brand new spc camber bolts from rallysport for 40 bucks, then installed them myself in 10 minutes. It's simple. 08whiterex explains it exactly

getting it adjusted right you need a machine though... you know that bryce replace the bolt and have someone align it eh? firestone sells lifetime alignments for like $130 as long as you own the car you align it for exactly $0 (excluding parts)
it's bomb for gett -3% camber for a race day too ;) :tophat:
