SPL rear camber arms

So spc toe bolts are no good? I think I'll take my chances with the oem bolts and see how alignments come out first then maybe get the spl bolts

Not to slag SPC since it might just have been an exception, but the toe bolt stretched which is why he claimed he couldn't hold position. (if it turns or moves the toe is altered) The guy had never heard of elongating the holes or using anything other than the stock toe bolts. He implied that a drop of only one inch (or so) doesn't require anything other than the original holes or toe bolts to get toe in spec as long as you don't expect to get spec camber and toe numbers leaving the stock arms in.....if that makes sense.

Adjustable camber arms + stock holes + stock toe bolts = spec toe and camber numbers with Swifts.

If you still want to run SPC toe bolts I have a 2nd set you can have for nada.
I think it was defective or something. The other one is in the right side and it held fine according to him. And these guys are Anal about the work they do.
I will be back.

The alignment shop slid a metal beam from one side of the lift to the other and used a bottle jack to raise the spring bucket to extract the 'bad' bolt. The replacement just popped in. It only took about 5 additional minutes after the initial 10 or so messing around trying to figure out what was going wrong.
I figure anyone not 'above the board' might have just let me drive away the way it was. He wasn't happy and went about resolving it.
In the end I asked him it he had added something to the bill for doing that, since fair is fair in my books. He said he added $10.
I was happy with that.
FYI....I stood a few feet from the lift the whole time asking how all their equipment worked. I also have a really good idea of what's going on under there now since Merv and I installed the Swifts, then I went back in last weekend to do the hole mod and toe bolt install and again one night this past week. I understood every step they took.
