Anyone have problems with seized camber bolts during alignments?

do u know what’s all that I’ll need ? Shoot 100 is not bad

 

really ? I head people talk down on hardware that’s not oem so bad it’s crazy

 

I have a co-worker that just installed Amazon arms and they have play already, its a roll of the dice.

The hardware is usually available at dealers, cutting them out sucks, a good sawzall and blade grease makes it easier.

 

Honestly there was no difference and they fit perfectly in the bushings seemed they high quality didn’t seem like soft steel or anything. ( I’m talking about the cam bolts sorry if I confused anyone)

 

Are these the ones u got

Seems right…they were cheaper last year…probably tariffs or whatever.

 

what part numbers did u ask for, i think i already will have the cam bolts

 

how have they been holding up so far for you I am thinking about getting these exact ones

 

I’ll try to look through my file of receipts when I get home.

 

All good. LCA’s aren’t a big failure spot aside from wearing out ball joints and bushings. I wasn’t super picky about them, and honestly picked the ones that would arrive soonest.

 

@Redtaco777 this is what I have been running for 80,000 miles and haven’t had any issues with them. And no issues with the cam bolts seizing either. Hope this helps. Won’t break the bank either.

 

thanks, why do u need the dorman bolt i thought the ki already comes with everything

 

Those bolts are greaseable.
The others are not.

Now.....Let's see how long it takes for someone to start an argument about, "The greaseable bolts are weaker".
In theory, they are. In practice, I never seen them break or bend.

I personally never had my cam bolts seize. But I have lifetime alignment.
So my cam bolts get "adjusted" at least one a year. (if needed) Plus, I don't live in a rust prone area. (salt state)
I also don't submerge my truck in water and mud. I'm old. I use my truck to commute, haul, and tow.
I don't play the mud anymore. I'm lazy. Fixing and cleaning things are no longer my idea of fun.

 

Dorman is the cam adjuster bolts and they are greaseable. That’s what they use for the alignment. The LCA’s come with everything to install just not the cam adjuster bolts.

 

oh i was just confused on why the lcas came with three bolts

 

They bolt into the spindle.

 

ohhh. honeslty man i dont even know if i should even buy new lcas my truck literally only has 80k miles its a 2012, regardless i will still need to buy the cam bolts just incase they are seized

 

Yeah, when I cut mine out I had to buy new LCA’s because I heated up the rubber bushings so much that they started to melt.

 

dang man, would i be able to use these instead of the dorman ones ?

I used to. Also had issues with the tabs bending flat. Took care of it though:
