Thanks got that, the real problem was that the aftermarket camber pins ahd a short thread ans therefor would never tighten enough, they just ran out of thread, that problem is fixed well, now,

Cheers

I only use K-mac brand heavy duty bolts, XY falcon ones. Washers are twice as thick and nuts are double length.
