#32492, "Rear Camber Mod - Alignment Gone Bad!!"


          

Hey guys,

So I recently did the rear camber mod and atfterwards went to get the alignment done. Long behold, the mechanic at Mavis Wheel and Tire snapped my right rear toe angle adjustment bolt. This was last Friday, and today the bolts (I asked him to order me a set) finally came in but are the wrong ones!

Anyone have a part number for the below "concenctric toe angle adjustment bolt"?



Also, do these bolts come as a set with the concentric washers and lock nuts or would I need to order them in addition. If so, part numnbers, or a parts diagram, would be awesome.

Thanks in advance,
Jess

Yea man, this sucks. And the more I read about it the worse this looks. Check out this article I just found:

Looks like this broken bolt is gonna cause me a lott of trouble now..

Hey guys,

So based on the link I posted above it looks like there is no way to simply remove the cam bolt once it has seized up. God damn salt belt!

So, I guess I am gonna have to replace the entire assembly on both sides. Has anyone else ever done this before?? I think these are the parts I will need:

MB911314: Cam Bolt (x2)
MB911283: Cam Plate (x2)
MR130510: Cam Nut (x2)
MS450992: Cam Washer (x2)
MR162571: Left Rear Link
MR162572: Right Rear Link

Can anyone else verify this and does anyone have any advice on this topic / installation?

I have done it. And the bolts were seized on my car also. I had to cut the bolt with an angle grinder and cut-off disc. Only took about 15 minutes each side.

But I replaced them with custom arms that are fully adjustable.

BFH + punch = win!

Buying a shitload of parts before exhausting other options = fail!

Win or Fail, it's your decision.

Hey Clay,

Yea, I guess you are right. I'll take a hammer and punch to it before I go ahead and buy an entirely new assembly. If that doesnt work, then I will go ahead and buy all the parts.

Cant believe a simple allignment caused all this shit!

Soaked it earlier today with WD-40 and just went out there with a punch and a small sledge hammer. Thing did not even budge. I put on some more WD-40 and Ill let it sit over night and give it another go tomorrow, but I got a feeling that thing is in there for good!
