i was going to get my corsa b Camber set today... the front toe (tracking) and all lazer lined..
it needed done since i changed my car from coilovers to shock and springs + lowered it 80mm allround 
long story cut short - he said "he couldnt do the toe on the car today because you dont have an adjustable shock are hubs with adjustment bolts" ...?
so i had to buy these:-
will these make a difference on the car because i didnt think you could use these bolts on shocks and springs? i havnt got an adjustable camber like coilovers 
like so:-
all new to me? any ideas?? 
anyone used these before
sorry inadvance :doyle: .....

Don't worry about it. If you go get your tracking done at a place near me called Elites they will always say you need to buy them. They are fucking cunts and I refuse to go there

coilovers then i would have thought ok...? but shocks and springs?
i they were going to try and charge me 1hours labour (£50 btw) to fit them also :doyle: .....
i told them i would fit them and come back...i've just never hurd of them fitted to shocks with adjustable cambers

The bolts are used on shocks and springs, coilovers like that you wouldnt need them, that bolt has a lobe on it like a cam, which get it in the right place when you tighen it and it holds that camber.
Understand it a bit better now?

that dont make sense because you twist the trackrod to adjust the toe, you use those bolts to adjust the camber

you dont need them to adjust the toe, thats done by adjusting track rod ends

I was going to say that but forgot. Camber would be way out from the lowering though anyway. Maybe they cant get there equipment on it to set the tracking?

Its only a couple of mm at the hub/shock joint though, by the time its out to the wheel it can be a massive amount.

I went Elites and they did mine fine, although they did want £40 to put in a camber shim on the rear as it was apparently out by 0.03 degrees or something? Gtf
