Can someone explain exactly how the camber bolts work for an s13? I have the ingalls camber kit part 3541 and I'm a little confused as to how they go onto the strut. The instructions aren't helping me very much. Illustrations would help a lot. Thanks guys!

its just a bolt that replaces the top bolt on the strut, take off the top bolt on the strut housing, put this on ein loosen up the bottom one turn the top one so the lobe on it pushed the camber positve till it is a desired camber, easier to do with the tire off the ground.

I'm still not clear on which bolt the top one is. I know there's two bolts holding in the strut at the bottom and three nuts holding the strut housing in at the top. Sorry about that guys.

yeah on the bottom where the 2 bolts hold the strut on, you put your camber bolt in the top one of the 2 holes you remove the top bolt totaly. and replace it with the new camber bolt and then turn it to adjust the camber to where you need it to be

got it...thanks for your help. one more question...does anyone know how to get the piston rod lock bolt off? i can get a deep socket in there, but it turns the piston as i turn the wrench. it's kinda tricky with that deep turning plate at the top.
