suspension help

Camber aren't really needed unless you intend to do some road racing, requiring a good amount of adjustability in your caster and camber. I asked the same question, and that's the answer I got. If you are really just going to be street driving your car, GT500 mounts and camber bolts are really all you need.

I still don't how your brand new mounts went bad...

I have the Maximum Motorsports plates and they work great.

Well, I thought I would give a little update. I am almost embarrassed to say it. I checked every bolt to make sure they were tight and they were. The only one I could never get to on the car was the top nut that holds the strut mount on the strut. When I assembled them when I used a socket it would just turn the whole shaft so I had to get a box wrench on the big nut and a small socket on the top of the shaft to get it tight. SO yesterday I picked up one of those pass thru sockets from Lowes (had to get 22mm) so I could get it on the big nut but still be able to keep the shaft from turning.

Last night I dropped that on, held it with a wrench, put the small socket on the top of the shaft and got it to turn just a touch, maybe 1/8 of a turn at most. Well, on the way to work this morning the ride was silent, no sounds at all. So I guess that nut had come loose just enough to let things hop around.

Thanks for the knowledge and advice.

Glad to hear you got it worked out.

ah yes that bolt is a bitch. took me forever to get them off and then back on again since you can only turn it so much...
