anyway..why does this CAMBER nuts so important. to my understanding..assuming i hava new car...if i don't need to adjust the CAMBER...then..i can just use the stock nuts...if i wan to change the CAMBER settings..then i oni need to change to the ADJUSTABLE CAMBER nuts...am i right or wrong?.. what i found out is...as long your car doesn't have an adjustable nuts..no matter which tyre shop you go..most of them will ask u to change..a piece of nut RM30..why are this nuts so expensive?..
its actually just a pair of bolt and nut. to attach together your car's absorber to the knuckle arm.
but as we all know, driving on malaysia's road are hazardous and full of adventures!!. if ur lucky enuff, can avoid unwanted potholes. but at other times, we may have hit them also. by doing that, there are chances that somehow the bolt got bent, or disaligned. this may change the camber angles of the absorber. the result, heavier steering turns as well as uneven tyre wear.
if your car comes with built-in adjustable camber, that's good. but normally, the camber angle is fixed so the easist solution by changing the bolt. that's why its well known as 'camber' bolt.
nowadays, camber bolt also available in adjustable version. this one is worth buying. the actual cost for making fixed bolt and nut is less than RM15. ask any frens working at foundries.
