Camber issues with Gaz

[172joe]

Evening people, is anyone running camber bolts with gaz GHA coilovers? I’m finding the little tab seems to get in the way. I can’t achieve more than 1.3 degrees of camber and don’t understand why. I’m using Eibach bolts. Any advice/help would be great. Thanks

Yeah mate, still no joy ?

Is the nut and bolt head both limited by the tabs?

 

[Usr117063]

Because if its just the nut then get another nyloc it will be smaller. Or grind the tabs off!

 

[172joe]

Yeah just gets to a certain point and locks out, didn’t want to have to grind it off but might just bite the bullet ?

Let's have a look at how you're fitting them.

And how are you measuring camber?

I haven’t got any pictures on my phone foolishly. Camber was measured on a hunter alignment machine. Here is a photo of said ‘tab’ though.

The top hole in the strut looks like it’s been filed to give more camber.

Grind that tab off.

I can't see why it needs to be there

Tab looks like it was added later...

Judging by the impressions in the metal from a nut, the tab looks like it's there to "fix" the slotted top hole.

Someone has done it to use the style of camber bolts with the offset washer on the heads like Jap cars run.

The tab is there for the supplied camber bolts from Gaz, my golds have them.
They weld an eccentric washer on

I’ll speak to gaz and buy a set of these bolts. How many camber have you managed to get with them? Cheers

^ This.
Gaz GHA already come with their own style camber bolts, eibach or other ones probably wont fit

I'm a bit late on this thread but I've got GHA's on my 172 also... went to fit SPC camber bolts and the washer that comes with the camber bolt was hitting the welded tab. Am I right in thinking it is fine to run the camber bolts without the washer provide? Sure I read that somewhere. Cheers
