Default Adjustable Struts.
I'm thinking of ordering the adjustable struts for my '73 project instead of R&R ing my existing struts and was wondering if it is still necessary to order the strut rod camber adjusting bolt or do the struts come with a different type bolt?

Thanks

The adjustable rods are threaded tubes. This is how you get the adjustment. No need for the camber bolts.

Thanks, but do the adjustable struts come with a bolt to replace the camber bolts or is that a separate or item that needs to be ordered to install them?

It comes with everything you need. New bolts for the camber side of the rods.

Mine came with everything. I did have to file / fit the square "washers" to the lower carrier as they were slightly too wide
