FAQs

Does this kit fit both the left and right rear axles?

Yes, the 188669 kit is designed to be compatible with both the left and right sides of the rear axle.

What is the spanner size for this bolt?

The spanner size for the bolt head and nut is 18 mm.

Is this a direct replacement for standard bolts?

It serves as a camber correction screw, which may replace standard non-adjustable hardware to provide alignment flexibility.

Can I install this on the front axle?

No, this specific part number is designed strictly for rear axle placement.

Do I need to get an alignment after installation?

Yes, a professional wheel alignment is required immediately after installing any camber correction hardware.

Troubleshooting

Bolt will not rotate for adjustment

Ensure the suspension is not under load and the nut is loosened sufficiently before attempting to turn the eccentric head.

Alignment specs remain out of range after adjustment

Verify that other suspension components, such as control arm bushings or ball joints, are not worn or damaged, preventing the adjustment from holding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This bolt is intended for use on the rear axle only. Installation should be performed by a competent individual following the vehicle manufacturer’s repair manual, as suspension components are safety-critical.

  • Compatibility: Ensure your specific vehicle make and model list this MPN (188669) as the correct replacement for your rear control arm position.
  • Installation: Use a 18 mm spanner/socket for the adjustment process. Ensure all threads are clean and lubricated if specified by your service manual.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check that the torque on the nut remains secure, especially after the initial "break-in" period following a suspension adjustment. Never reuse old nuts or washers if they show signs of thread fatigue or rust.
