Camber Adjustment Bolt Torque

[strohw]

Anyone know the torque rating for the 2 bolts on the strut arm that you use to adjust camber?

BW5 and BW4 are the same. Interestingly, the 4BW indicates the lower steering knuckle bolt is one time use. Just the lower bolt, just the 4BW...weird.

I tried to torque mine as spec'ed and when it got to 250 lb ft and it still wasn't there I just gave up.

For the 4BW is this messing with the strut tower mandatory?
I'd assumed you just needed to take the wheels off, loosen a couple bolts, make adjustments, and tighten. I know the manual combines 4/4V/4BW stuff in places and wondered if this was just for the V?

This is just the start of the procedure to move stuff around.

That's up to you. I can tell you that I'm getting about -2.4 to -2.5 front camber with just the adjustment at the knuckle. Which is more than enough for me.

Thanks for that

Ya I just want to meet their recommended spec:
- Front -2.4, 0.1
- Rear -1.8, 0.1
So if that can be done without the extra stuff, that's great.
