Bulk Camber Bolt Packs for LEXUS ES V20

Nolathane bulk camber bolt packs supply V20 ES camber adjusting bolts in workshop quantities for wheel alignment specialists, tyre shops and suspension workshops. Camber adjusting bolts are one of the most frequently used alignment parts in any workshop that aligns modern cars, SUVs and light commercial vehicles. Keeping bulk packs in common sizes on the shelf means camber can be corrected during the alignment, not on a return visit.

Bulk packs suit workshops that regularly see vehicles with factory camber settings that can?t be adjusted, camber that has drifted with age, or ride height changes that have moved camber out of specification.

How Camber Adjusting Bolts Work on the V20 ES

Many vehicles with strut front suspension have no factory camber adjustment. The strut is bolted to the steering knuckle with two bolts that fit closely in their holes, fixing the camber angle.

A camber adjusting bolt replaces one of those bolts. It has a slightly smaller shank and an eccentric washer or cam under the head. Because the bolt is smaller than the hole, the knuckle can move a small amount relative to the strut. Rotating the eccentric cam pushes the top of the wheel in or out, adding or removing negative camber. Once the setting is correct, the bolts are tightened to clamp the knuckle in position.

Similar eccentric bolts are used at other suspension pivots on some vehicles, where rotating the bolt moves an arm to adjust camber or toe.

Why Workshops Buy Camber Bolts in Bulk

Camber adjusting bolts are needed on many alignments, often in pairs, and usually at short notice. Bulk packs help workshops:

• Finish alignments in one visit without ordering parts
• Keep the most common bolt diameters on hand at all times
• Reduce cost per bolt compared with buying individual kits
• Offer camber correction as a standard alignment add-on
• Handle vehicles that have been lowered, lifted or carry extra weight

When Camber Adjustment Is Needed

Camber bolts are typically fitted when:

• Tyres are wearing on the inner or outer edge
• The vehicle pulls to one side because of uneven camber
• Camber is outside specification on a vehicle with no factory adjustment
• A vehicle has been lowered or raised, moving camber out of range
• Sagging springs or minor knuckle wear have shifted camber over time
• A performance setup calls for slightly more negative camber

Before fitting, check for bent struts, damaged knuckles and worn bushes or ball joints. A camber bolt corrects camber within a limited range. It can?t compensate for a damaged component.

Choosing the Right Size for the V20 ES

Camber bolts are sized by the diameter of the original strut-to-knuckle bolt. Fitting the correct diameter is essential, because too small a bolt can allow movement, and too large a bolt won?t fit or adjust. To choose the right size:

1. Measure the diameter of the original bolt or check the vehicle?s specification.
2. Match the camber bolt diameter to the original.
3. Check the thread length suits the strut bracket and knuckle thickness.

Stocking the most common diameters covers the majority of vehicles that come through a typical alignment workshop. Each listing shows the bolt diameter and the quantity in the pack.

Fitting Best Practice

Correct fitting is what keeps the alignment from moving after the vehicle leaves the workshop:

1. Mark the original position of the strut on the knuckle before removing a bolt, so the starting point is known.
2. Replace one strut-to-knuckle bolt with the camber bolt, usually the upper bolt, following the vehicle?s guidance.
3. Leave the original lower bolt loose so the knuckle can move.
4. Rotate the eccentric cam to set camber while measuring on the alignment machine.
5. Tighten both bolts to the vehicle manufacturer?s specification while holding the cam in position.
6. Re-check camber after tightening, then set toe last.

Under-tightened camber bolts can allow the knuckle to slip back under heavy braking or a pothole strike. Always torque to specification and re-check the alignment.

Camber Bolts and Worn Suspension Parts

A camber bolt sets the position of the knuckle relative to the strut, but worn bushes elsewhere in the suspension can still let the wheel move under load. Inspect the lower control arm bushes, strut mounts and ball joints during any camber adjustment, and replace worn parts so the alignment stays where it was set.

Nolathane has been making polyurethane suspension bushings since 1974, originally developed to replace brass bushes in hillclimb competition. The signature red bushings are made in a range of durometers (hardness grades) for each position, and offer outstanding abrasion resistance, high load-bearing capability and resistance to oil, grease, ozone and weathering, helping an alignment hold steady over time.

Limitations to Keep in Mind

Camber bolts provide a limited range of adjustment, which suits most standard and mildly modified vehicles. Larger corrections, such as those needed after a significant lowering or lift, may require adjustable control arms or other geometry correction parts. Camber bolts also don?t correct caster, which is set by other components on most strut suspensions.

Who Bulk Camber Bolt Packs Suit

• Wheel alignment and tyre workshops performing daily alignments
• Suspension specialists correcting geometry after lowering, lifting or spring replacement
• General mechanical workshops offering alignment as part of a service
• Fleet maintenance teams managing tyre wear across many similar vehicles
• Performance workshops setting up vehicles for track days or spirited road use

For these businesses, having camber adjustment available on every job turns a potential return visit into a completed alignment.

Storing Bulk Camber Bolts

Keep bolts in their packaging, sorted by diameter, in a dry location to prevent corrosion. Label storage bins clearly so technicians can select the right size quickly, and replace any bolts with damaged threads or cams.
