here an idea of the bolts they are also on the dogbone arm on the rear of the fto.

im replaced rear shock tops,dog bones,trailing arm bushings and rear wish bone arm bushings.

BUT i cant remove the camber adjustable bolts.iv removed the nut and washer and plate on 1 side but the bolt will not come out. is there a trick to this im missing.

yes.this kind of thing. were u turn the bolt to increase camber.and the bolt has a flat top on it so with main washer in it will only adjust so much. iv already put nut and socket back on a used brut forse but didnt move. :roll: :x

lots of WD40 and a hammer, or drill out the centre of the bolts and install originals until you obtain new adj bolts

just done my camber bolts last saturday. these are hard, tend to seize alot, start with wd40. if that does not move them then take a torch to the bolts, you will get some smoke as rubber bush gets hot, nothing to worry about, work towards the rear of car, DO NOT WORK WITH TORCH FACING PETROL TANK. use a club hammer and start wacking, this does the trick, these bolts are very strong and will not bend or snap. put lots of grease when putting back bolts.ps mark position of bolts before removal.
