New struts, do i need camber bolts? (Page 1/1)
Markeeise OCT 01, 07:23 PM
Replacing all my shocks and struts on my 88 GT because every time I take off hard I hear a clunking noise from the rear left around the strut area, I checked the strut and it has been leaking very badly so decided it was time to replace everything. I bought KYB Excel-G shocks and struts, just one question? Did the Fiero come with camber bolts from the factory already installed that I can reuse or do I need to buy 2 new camber bolts? Thanks!

Not sure what kind of clunk you're hearing but I had a metallic clank coming from my driver's side strut area on my first Fiero and after several years and many parts later, I found that someone had left a huge socket inside the cradle that rolled around every time I stopped or started.

Lol, what are the chances! I know for sure it couldn't be like that this only happens when I take off or when I accelerate too hard in the rain and my tire loses traction it almost sounds like the rear tire starts bouncing up and down and I hear the clucking repetitively.

Fiero did not come with camber bolts from the factory.
Not necessary, but makes it easier for the guy doing the alignment.

But someone prior to you may have installed some.
Just gotta look at the bottom bolt and see what's there.
