[QUOTE="JAJ, post: 15075867, member: 131874"] I agree with the general views on camber bolts - the aftermarket parts are not really strong enough for track use. However, the Ford camber bolts (now available from Ford Performance) are a totally different proposition. Those dudes are built to last and they come with a special feature. Because they're OEM parts and included in the vehicle homologation, they are legal in showroom stock racing classes, giving you a front suspension that'll breeze through tech inspection and deliver up to 3 degrees of negative camber. As to the strength question, they are the same diameter as the OEM bolts (14mm) and they have an eccentric cam plate that fits between machined ridges on stock struts to lock the strut into position. They're the only camber bolt I'd use. And I do because I'm still running the stock Bilstein front struts on my GT500. When track day season starts, I set mine at -3 degrees, and when the season ends I set them back to stock. With an impact gun, a great big torque wrench and a lift, it takes about 10 minutes a side to switch them. Going back to the OP's issue, I'd pay careful attention to toe-in. I'm set at zero toe and I'm getting pretty even wear even with the factory -1.2 degrees of camber the car came with. [/QUOTE]
