He's right about the bolts only being able to help so much. They aren't just any bolts, they have a lobe. The kit also comes with brackets and other hardware. I remember it being a bit of a pain in the ass. Its cheap enough that if you buy them and don't use its no big loss. The struts still have to come out though so its not just a slap these things in and your done kinda deal. Kinda a catch 22. You might want to just bite the bullet and get caster camber plates....your car looks new and clean....they're going to be better than the bolts.

i removed the camber bolt [top bolt of the two on the strut]
i cant see how the bolt kit will help? both holes are the same size,the arm that goes to the spindal,that hole is the same size as the strut hole,there was like a hair of movement.
i have heard they drill out the spindal arm hole to gain the room for the adjustment,has anyone done this here?
i have read alot of posts,an i hear about using the camber bolts.
did they change the design on the 2010's and up?

i see how the bolts work now,was brain dead for a while!
i only have a little wear,but also dont want to waste money on tires if i dont have too.
i cant believe that little bit of adjustment is all it takes,or how little it being out causes a tread to wear like that!
thank you all for your help
