Hey Toadster,

Can you point me in the direction of some suspension torque specs please?
I usually just to for one ugga dugga with the weight of the car on its wheels were possible, but I might try factory spec this time around if I can.

Can anyone help me out please? One of my camber correction bolts was completely seized in place and I had to cut it in other to remove the lower control arm.
So far it's been pretty much impossible to locate one for sale anywhere.
I've had two orders cancelled on me by eBay sellers after they said the ones they had in stock were damaged. I call BS on that but anyway.
I've a third one ordered but it hasn't shipped yet.
They seem to be very hard to find for some reason.
If anyone has a spare one there I'll gladly buy it, or if you know of one for sale and can point me in the right direction I'd be very grateful.

I recently struggled to get these parts, I had to buy the bolt and cam plate from separate places. Just in case you don't have them, these are the part numbers.

The bolt part number is 52387-SM4-962
The cam plate is 52388-SM4-961
The nut is 90366-SF1-J62

Cheers Merlin. It looks like the third seller has shipped it today. It should land in about a week, hopefully.
I have the plate and nut there. I'll just fire ahead with work on the front end until it lands.

You couldn't make it up. The third seller emailed me this morning to say that package was lost while out on delivery.
I'm dead in the water, again.
If anyone can help me out here I'll be forever grateful. I'm at my whits end!
