need help with camber bolts

[legacy98gt]

ok so i got my kyb struts and tein springs and im trying to figure out wat to do with the camber bolts some people say put it all the way negative, how do i get it to negative? ive never done these before so im trying to figure out how it works and how to adjust it and everything

on the bolts there are dash marks. on the strut there is a center mark above the bolt hole that is 0 camber. moving the bolt outward will be pos camber, moving the bolt inward will be negative camber. most subaru factory specs for camber is -.5 camber. i set mine at -1.5 camber.

on the bolt the big marks are 1 and the small marks are .5. i beleive the bolts go to -3 camber. that is to much unless you are trying to drift your legacy. go with -1 camber and you should be good. i would recommend you get an alignment to make sure everything is good, as you might put the caster and toe out of wack.

witch one is it the top or bottem bolt? i just want to make sure i dont mess anything up, im going to get an alignment in about 4 days so its not that big of a deal i just want to make sure im doing it right, thanks for the help

the top bolt will be the camber bolt. it should be about and in longer than the bottom bolt and have the dash marks on the bolt head side.

do i do anything special with the biottem bolt or just take it out and put it back in?

[Airgne]

bottom bolt out and in nothing special.

i put the bolt right after the first line so it would be inbetween 1 and 1.5 but im not sure if i have it negative or positive

[Airgne]

that is negative. another way to tell is spin the bolt around, and look at the spindle it shoud go in an out. in is negative out is posative.

[legacy98gt]

ok thanks, does that look like -1 or so? or is it to much? thanks again for your help

[Airgne]

looks about 1.5 its good.

[legacy98gt]

ok cool thanks now if i can figure out how to ut the sway bar back on lol

did you look at the bolt?

turn it when the strut was loose and watch what happens?

that bolt is set to the positive side of 0. Max it all the way in, but since you're getting an alignment it doesn't really matter. For better handling you will want to have as much negative camber as possible. The most you will get out of the stock bolt is a bit more than -1 degrees.
