I'm at a loss to how a properly engineered camber bolt is "sketchy" on the front struts yet the same bolt on the rear is just fine.
The top front holes are larger than the lower and both rear holes. at least through one side of the strut and through the knuckle. The other side of the stut has a smaller hole for the narrow part of the OEM bolt.
