I have been through a few threads about the suspension bolts, but I was hoping someone knew just the part numbers for the bolts that are required to be replaced for an alignment. I went to the dealer last week to look, and it was not clear on the schematics what those bolts were.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

x2...getting mine aligned in next few weeks

I think that this has been debunked; 1 time use.

I don't think you understood the question. I want the part numbers so I can replace the proper bolts at the next alignment.

Hopefully the person doing the alignment doesnt tightent them down till they are 100% sure it is proper settings, or its another set of bolts.

Are the only ones that need replaced.

Also make sure they tighten them to those specs, one time they didn’t and my alignment shifted drastically. First pass the ft lbs, 2nd pass the degrees shown.

Nope it's been debunked inspite of what the manual reads...plenty have reused bolts but I understand what you're after.

Not likely. They are torque plus an angle reading. Total PIA. More likely they will just give them their normal alignment bolt torque spec (a few ugga dugga's) and call it a day, as the angle requirement is not something they would normally do.

I did try and snug my toe bolts up in the rear and found the bolt is relatively easy to break with a breaker bar. Hard lesson to learn a few days before a track day.

I have found that even tightening the rear toe bolts to the torque specs that they still slip and loose rear toe alignment pretty easily at the track.

so you are saying the shop manual is wrong??? and since people have reused them then it must be correct even though some people when they have tried to reuse them have broken ? Wow that's a good one. Im goning to go on a limb and say JUST GO WITH WHAT THE SHOP MANUAL SAYS....People on here probably want correct advice not some shade tree mechanic crap.. just saying just because it worked once or twice still does not make it correct or debunked..

ive had my car over 4 years ive had a few alignments a year only replaced the bolts once when i replaced my shocks/springs almost 30k car hasnt fallen apart and i track it a few times a year so yes you will be fine...

Here’s some info, I got an alignment and re used the bolts and I also don’t think they torqued them to spec. Before and after alignments speak for themselves and this was a light track day with some friends

If you're saying that the need to replace the TTY bolts has been debunked, that is not true and I can attest to that. Yes you can re-use without them snapping in half, but the more you re-use, the weaker they get and worse they hold--they don't hold great after only one torqueing.

The rear camber and toe TTY bolts should be replaced each alignment, especially if you're tracking and want the alignment to last longer.

It's a PIA, which is why I'm switching to BMR parts this week.

I kinda noticed this as well and wondered. What's the name parts we needs? Is it just the camber bracket deal?
