Rear Camber bolt Broke
Well I was trying to bring my wheels in a little inwards in the rear, And my bolt accidently broke off while the impact wrench was on there(of course).
Now how does one take out that camber bolt out and put a new one in?They have to come out the rear and the leaf springs are in the way.I ended up cutting it off with a reciprocating saw and temporarily installed a high grade bolt from the front and put a lock washer with a lock nut in the rear,But I know it's installed backwards.
Do I have to lower the leaf springs to put in those bolts?(will be buying some new ones Tommorow)I need to know the correct way to do this..

Just put the adjustables on my 70...don't recall any interference with the spring when taking the old cam bolts out...maybe my 70 is different...

I will check on those adjustable strut rods......I will probably post a pic on where the bolt is actually situated so some can have a better understanding.
I'm sure this must of happened to someone else before me
