Ive been searching the site for about 45 mins for this but i cant find out the right bolt length, thread pitch, and washers. I could have swore i seen it on here before.....I would take one out and run to the store but i dont have another car as of now and dont have a ride and im not jacking the car up in the parking lot. I just put the skunk 2 coil overs on yesterday and my rear camber is horrid. i dont have the money for a rear camber kit as im buying another honda so im going as cheep as i can for now. We got our cruise night tonight and i would rather all that camber not be there.

    :o U use bolts out of the early Honda Accord.Lots of these in the junkyard.It's either out of the frt. or rear suspension .Just bring the bolt & match the pitch,but with the longer length.It's the right grade,thread pitch,but longer.
    Good Luck. :wink:

    See one of my problems is that its sunday and none of the junk yards are open today for some stupid reason :x . So i guess i'll go try and find some means of getting me 2 miles down the road to Menards with the bolt to find one

    good info ^^

    my problem with DIY rear camber was my bolt always being too short and i didnt want the rear trailing arm to be held in place with only like 1/3 inch of thread, hha.. so you're saying the earlier accords have longer bolts?

    :o Yep.Don't remember what year,but it's b4 '96 .What's nice is it's the same grade,size,easy to get,but longer.

    Drive down with the wagon.50 miles not going to kill the tires.

    So i finaly got the thread size yesterday. 10x1.25 if you just want to go to the hardware store and get some new grade 8 bolts with the washers. cant wait to get that camber fixed.

    I tired calling the junkyards around here looking for the accord bolts but none of them had them(just didnt feel like looking im sure). the one junkyard that you can go look around in didnt have an accord either.

    You can get those bolts at any hardware store, but the only problem I found is that non honda bolts tend to have a 17mm head instead of a 14mm. Not really an issue, but thought Id mention it.

    If your replacing those bolts, replace with grade 8. No reason to skimp with these bolts. Ive seen what ahppens when those bolts get ripped out at speed. Messes up all kinds of crap you wouldnt thik it would mess up.

    :o What I like about the Accord bolt is it also has the built-in washer for better load spread & stronger grip.
