[QUOTE="Norm Peterson, post: 16228284, member: 193960"] That's one of the reasons I don't like aftermarket "camber bolts". You can't tighten them to full OE strut to knuckle fastener torque. This torque was originally 148 ft*lbs on coarse-thread fasteners, but following a few knuckle failures that traced back to insufficient clamp load by these fasteners a running production change was made to fine-thread bolts and (IIRC) 166 ft*lbs installation torque. Ford has their own version of camber bolt that is full-strength, but it requires some grinding of the strut bolt holes. The procedure is in the shop manual. Norm [/QUOTE]
