hi guys, just after a few pointers regarding camber. im changing my front struts on my 2002 bug sti as one of the cups was rotten and has collapsed! anyway im just replacing like for like as ive sourced another pair of red top sti ones. im just wondering about the camber? after some reading it seems the top bolt at the hub is an oem camber bolt and has a marker on it? is this correct? im led to believe it should point to 12 oclock when fitted? ive probably got this all wrong lol so any advice is most welcome. cheers.

 

just get a full alignment after, its always good to know all is right.

 

Before you undo it, mark the nuts against the hub and try put it back on align to the mark, that's the closest you'll get it tbh without proper alignment

 

cheers for the reply,s lads. will prob get an alignment at a later date but was hoping to get it as good as possible until then as im in for a pair of tyres as well as the spring dropped onto the tyre and shredded it! ill try and mark them and see how it goes.

 

got these today hoping to fit tommorrow, just a quick question, do the camber bolts go on the bottom? they only seem to fit there so i m guessing so? cheers.

 

Camber bolts in the top hole. Put the normal bolt in the bottom but do not tighten fully then use some brute force to move the hub to get the hole to line up so you can put the bolt in. Make sure the front of the car is lifted not just one wheel as it is almost impossible to move the hub with the ARB loaded up.

 

Cheers fella some good tips there one thing tho which is why I asked is the camber bolt doesnt fit through the top hole on the strut whilst off the car or am I being dumb and just need to rotate it until it lines up to push through? It fits in the bottom hole no problem ? Sorry for being a dumb a$$ lol
