Since I want one rear wheel to gain a touch of neg. camber and the other to gain a touch of pos. camber, I'm thinking I may not need to install camber bolts. Thanks.
Dean was talking about the bolts at the joint between the spindle/upright (the part that the wheel hub, LCA, strut & steering tie rod are fastened to) and the bottom of the strut. Just loosen those two bolts, and there should be a little play so you can change the relative angle between the strut & spindle. Usually this joint is where "camber bolts"/"crash bolts"/"eccentric bolts" are installed, to controllably adjust wheel camber angle.
