Sheared camber adjusting bolt

Postby kevinod » Thu Mar 20, 2008 1:58 am

When I lowered my car I put on camber adjusting bolts to get the camber right. This morning when I took the first couple of corners I noticed a bit of extra movement in the wheels, and then the steering wheel was slightly clockwise when going straight. Stopped and had a look, discovered the head of the driver side bolt sheared off! :shock:

Anyone see this happen before?

They cost me £25 + P&P.
€25 would do the trick.
