whats a good substitute for eccentric bolts

[TokyoNights]

Yeah thats right you know they slip...
I been through a bunch of alignments allready and want to make the next one the last one for a while including cornerweighting. I have coilovers and all adjustable arms other than lower control arms. What can I use instead of the eccentric bolts for the toe arms and rucas?

weld washers
run regular bolts.

weld washers to the subframe,,,,,good idea.
were you able to weld all the points with the subframe/suspension still on the car ?

Aaron you're such a winner. i'm gonna do that when i find the time.

[Dousan_PG]

no i wont waste my time on such
dont realy care
never had problems w/ the eccentric bolts..ever.
new subby goes on, just powder coated, no solid bushings this time i like spacers

[Var]

heh..i just pressed in my solid bushings...rides better on the freeway. shocks doing their job instead of waiting for rubber to compress.

You're the only person i've ever heard not having a problem with the bolts backing out. I suppose i could use thread locker . Are you suppose to?

[Dousan_PG]

no im not
i just tighten the hell out of them
no air tools
muscle baby muscle!

and how do i know its ok?
because ill get an alignment front adn rear
then do a few events and daily driven ...about 3 months
get another alignment
rear still same, SLIGHTLY out of spec but nothing like a bolt slipped/turned

Or just use a fender washer, a little less work than welding one on.

I've only had problems with monkeys overtightening them which spins the washer and locks it into the bolt. Then you have to drop the subframe just to hammer the bastard out.
