Camber question
 
http://www.dirtyimpreza.com/forums/s...ead.php?t=6365

Hi guys
Having read this I am now confused, is this write up accurate ?

A few questions
1 does a standard classic impreza have front camber bolts as standard
2 Which hole do the camber bolts go in , top or bottom
3 Same as above two questions , but regarding the rears


Thanks all

Fronts yes, top hole. Rears no, just rear toe.

That's what I thought, thus making the write up wrong , well some of it .

as above the Subaru's have them in the front top hole only as std........they are also a heavy duty eccentric bolt as opposed to the slimmed down after-market he is describing

i think the confusion is because he only talks about "adding" cambr bolts rather than dealing with a car that has them as std

Agree with above and if using standard camber bolts you want to set it to about as much equal negative camber as u can. Normally about -1 degree iirc.

Cheers guys, the questions are to try and clear a few question marks for Majorscoob who is currently working on his shocks etc .

So, are the aftermarket camber bolts for the front any diferent in cam profile than standard, is it waste of time changing fronts

Im thinking the fronts are a waste of time now fella too as these pics show.

Cant really see any major size difference in camber altering part of the bolt from the OEM to the aftermarket one.
Looking at it the gold standard ones look a dam site stronger too!

Come to think of it though after looking at my own pics, why would the aftermarket one have a washer with a tab and handle on it?

plus why would it have a thinner neck part right behind the bolt head?

Does this design give it more adjustment in pushing the hub further than the OEM bolt could and the tab locks it in place :sos:

Reckon your right, standards look far better

std fronts are a no brainer, the rear bolts are smaller anyhows and having fitted/supplied a good number of camber bolts over the years i have never heard of one failing and we have never had one move even on competing vehicles
