Default camber kit/bolts problems - easy to install? read pls!

ok so... the tech guy told me that the front camber is off by half degree but he cant fix it, i need a camber kit

and he told me that the rear passenger side camber bolts is dead.. its just keep spinning and nothing happens so i need that to be replaced


ordered the front camber kit 1 degree adjustable
30 dollars

then i called Toyota how much would be to fix my rear camber bolt.. the camber bolt is only 10 bucks.. but to install the rear passenger side camber bolt is $180!!!!

to install the two front is 120...


my car is lowered. ( hotchkis ) Toyota couldn't do anything because its to low for them.
they couldn't even install it if i would pay for it.

So.. it is hard to install it? should i just look for someone here on this forum who could do it at my house?

to install the fron camber kit, do i need to drop the frame? im asking because if yes i would order a rear and front motor mounts. so we/them could install that in the same time.

btw i just got my 3rd set of tires installed in the last 30k miles!!!!!!!

as far as the front just jack the car up take tires off and install the bolts on the top hole of the struts. for the rear don't know man, have not looked at it, but it can't be any more different. It wont be on the shocks, that much I can tell ;-P

no dropping frame. there's two bolts holding the strut to the wheel hub assembly bla bla. Just take the top one off and install the camber bolt. Just remember to take the car for alignment there after and they should be able to adjust.

BTW. I recommend Firestone for the $139.99 lifetime alignment. They recommend u take the car for alignment every 4 months for optimum wear. U don't have to do it so often, but its good for the tires.
