When installing camber bolts...do you regard the instructions as reading from the front of the vehicle or the back.

Basically I'm wondering which way to install them.

Any advice is appreciated.

Best,

I dunno about you but I live in a road salt area.  So what I did was install mine, and my regular strut bolts, so that the shaft of the bolts point towards the rear of the vehicle.  Theoretically this will keep them out of the direct line of spray and flying crap...theoretically.  Mine's been aligned this way and driven on for about 2 weeks.  I don't think it would matter in either direction but eh, every little bit helps.

I read them from the front, and had no problems.

Just an FYI/update

I installed them yesterday.  On a 2002 Vitara, I had to install the bolt from the back of the strut holes towards the front.

They would not go in from the front, but slid right in from the opposite side.


Thanks for all the help.  This 2002 Vitara is new to me, so I am still learning.  It replaced my 1996 Sidekick Sport.  The Suzuki is my main offroad/hunting vehicle, despite having a Chev k1500 6.5 TB with a 6" lift.  The Vitara just goes more places.

I've now got the Boondox lift with shocks, strut extenders and camber bolts.  I'm going to replace my stock strut covers with boots and I think I'll be all set.
