Stock? Dealer. Aftermarket/upgraded? Pedders.

Go to a store like Fastenal, or any specialty hardware store. What you are looking for is a Zinc-Plated Class 12.9 M10 x 40mm (1.5mm thread pitch) Hex Socket cap screw (if you are near a McMaster-Carr the part number is 95263A767. They are like $11 for a bag of 10 if I remember correctly). Then just use a little bit of blue loctite (I like Loctite 246 since it is a little thicker then standard blue loctite) and snug them down (remember its a retaining bolt so it does not need to be torqued down, just snug so it does not back out).

If you need the rear camber bolt you have to get it from the dealer, junkyard, or the aftermarket Pedders bolt. I recommend the Pedders camber bolt. It is heavier duty, offers more adjust-ability, and has a locking nut. Here is a pic of the Pedders toe adjuster bolt next to the stock bolt. It's similar to the camber bolt, just to give you an idea of the difference. Give Rob at Wretched a call for more information on the rear bolt kit.

If you want aftermarket though Pedders is your only option I believe. And for what it's worth my earlier post was strictly for the front camber bolt, it won't work for the rear eccentric. |

Taking an educated guess, the eccentric washer has probably broke free of the bolt. That was the original impetus for Pedders Eccentrics. The eccentric washers were poorly welded to the bolt on the G8. Our business is suspension and after three of four alignments on my G8 the eccentric bolts would fail. As long as we were going to make eccentric bolts we felt we should increase the range of the eccentric. Voila -- Pedders ZETA Alignment Bolts.
The welds on the Camaro bolts are much better, much stronger. We see few outright failures on the Camaro, but they do happen. The bolts are readily available from GM. That said, as long as we were going to replace eccentric bolts for repair, why not increase the range of the eccentric with Pedders ZETA II Alignment Bolts. |

ya, we've run in to the stock washers stripping out a few times ourselves, the Pedders bolts will not strip, they are bad ass bolts!
I have them available on our website as Jaysin mentioned. |

Here are some pics of the camber bolts to compare. Just thought I would post them up for reference.
