Camber bolt

Post by mccdan4 »

I had a four wheel alignment done on my Vibe and the place that did it heated the camber bolt to move it,they broke the bolt and melted the rubber bushing in the knuckle...grrrrrr Can anyone tell me which camber bolt this car uses??? It's an 03 Vibe awd with a 1.8... The daeler has not been any help they want to do the work so they will not tell which is the right one... Any help would be greatly apperciated. Love this site!!!!

I'm assuming your talking about the rear camber bolt, being the front don't have camber bolts.Correct?just go to your local parts store and tell them you need upper-or-lower camber bolt for the rear on the awd.I attached a pdf of the parts for the rear with the part numbers from the factory.worst case you can print it out take it to the parts store and point to it LOL

I have thought about it. The repairs will end up being almost $1000 after buying all the parts.
