I've read through some of the threads regarding the camber adjustment. There's been mention of camber bolts, but where do they go? does anyone have a picture shot of them installed? The angle is not off by much, and from what i've been told its within tolerance. but it annoys me.
 the only suspension work that i've done is replace the shocks all around.

Crash bolts for the rears. Since you have an SS2... not sure if it has Super Strut fronts or not... but those are different. Crash bolts are those 'camber bolts' things... hehe... they replace the upper bolt on the strut casing and allow for some small adjustments to your camber.

Great! Thanks guys! I'm off work this week and one of the projects that i have planned is to take my car to the Toyota dealership for a review and service. unfortunately, we don't have very many celicas in country and the Toyota dealership is just about the only ones who know how to work on them. Yes, i know that its going cost me an arm and a leg!
 I'm sure that South Africa would be cheaper, but they don't work on japanese import cars.

What makes you think the camber is not correct? You say it's been measured and fount to be within tolerance? If this is the case you shouldn't need to do anything; the tolerance is usually very small, and anything inside of the limits is good.

Camber bolts is the easy way to addjust camber. You can use them if you want to go higher then - 1.5. With bolts you can addjust camber up to -2.7. Simple and it works. Next step is camber plates. (around $250)

Well, the results from toyota was that they don't know what a "crash bolt" is! i tried to explane it to them but since i have to translate crash bolt to Portuguese, it must have been lost in translation. i also found out that they don't carry any parts for the celica! they have to order them from japan and it will take 1-3 months! Even oil filters! I guess i could order them (bolts) from the U.S. and would most likely arrive quicker, but i would need to know the correct part number for them. Anyone? -------------------- "Remember, amateurs built the ark and professionals built the Titanic. But revolutionaries built the Celica!"- Me |
