But the toe bolts will be larger diameter than the OEM ones, so those holes will have to be drilled out for the new ones to fit. But not so much that there is flex in them.
I checked out the DIY and picked up the correct Dremel bits and the suggested flex cable to work in the confined space under the car. When you say that there could be "flex in them", what specifically are you speaking about?

I was just going to apply the template centered over the existing hole for the toe bolt, mark off the area to be drilled, then remove the material. Are you saying if I don't use the template and/or don't center the template over the existing hole, I could create problems?

1. If you drill the hole out too much, the camber bolt can flex in it.

2. Yes, if you use the template and are careful you should be fine. Centering it will be necessary since it is an alignment part.


If you follow the instructions, you shouldn't have a problem.
