Quick Camber Bolt Question

I have forgotten which way the camber nub is supposed to face for stock settings. "meaing less camber." Does the nub face in towards the car or out towards the wheel?

i believe it should face slightly out towards the wheel.

i always mark that eccentric bolt though when i take it off, so i can get it back on right. even a slight change in the position can really effect the alignment.

i would say do the best you can getting it back in, then take it to an alignment shop and get them to reset it.

For stock (-1 degree) it should face the middle of the car.

You'll have close to -2 with it set-up that way.

I might keep it the way it is, especially if you auto-x.

ya, I got WAY to much camber. I have coilovers, and they have camber plates, so I want the stock bolt set at stock settings, and adjust it with the plates. So I gotta flip the bolts, and then go get an alignment.
