[QUOTE="Cman01, post: 15053923, member: 138028"] That is possible and I would advise anyone to "not" run camber bolts just to get more -camber on the front suspension. Ford makes "camber" bolts for in service applications if a car is not within specs because of repair to the front end of the car after an accident or damage. They are hardly designed for "racing" applications so I would not use them for that purpose. The stock bolts that connect the strut to the spindle are designed to be a tight fit through the openings. Filing the strut holes to "elongate" them so you can run more - camber weakens that area of the strut and will lead to problems that could cause your frt. suspension to separate. Like you said yes it would be a bit of a problem if it came apart. The proper replacement bolts and nuts from Ford now have more threads and require a higher torque to tighten them properly. MM offers them for sale or you can get them from any Ford dealer. They are a one time use only so tighten them up only when you know you won't need to separate them again for whatever reason.
