I just noticed while I was changing tires that my drivers side rear inner swing arm has about 1/4 inch play where the 3 17MM bolts are. The bolts don't seem to tighten either.
What's the cause / problem? Fix? THANKS |

I didn't pull the bolts but they seem to be on very tight. This is where the "shim" is for the camber adjustment.
Is it common for these bolts to strip??? |

Are they torqued to 50 lbs? Each? Other than that, I have no idea. Do not over tighten them, I can only guess how fun it would be getting those bolts out after they break (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

THANKS
The plate is there, it just shifts. I think its off because of the camber angle. Time for new bolts? Thanks for the torque setting, I'll give it a go. THANKS AGAIN |
