What are cam bolts?
Camber adjustment bolts are clever eccentric bolts which allow you to modify the car’s camber angle. They can be used to either add or reduce camber in a vehicle, or can also be used to return the vehicle’s wheel alignment to the proper specifications after a suspension component has been damaged or bent out of shape.

What pulls more camber or caster?

What are control arm bolts?
Control arm bolts attach your control arm to the chassis of your vehicle. They pass through the brackets on the frame and the control arm bushings to allow the control arm to move up and down. Control arm bolts are also often used to align your vehicle, and have to remain tight after alignment to ensure your suspension stays aligned.
What causes the control arm bolts to come loose?
