Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Enhancing Precision and Ease: Specialty Products Company 81240 EZ Cam XR 10mm Adjuster Bolt - Pair by Pete Brown

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not recommended. of cam bolts and parts

Purchased for a 2013 Fiat 500 Abarth. The torque specification for these mounts is only 31.5 lbf ft! Ridiculous at first glance for a large suspension attachment point. There is practically no clamping/holding force. Even when I looked at those flimsy looking little screws next to the factory screws, I was skeptical. I fitted them anyway and took the car to a very reputable tire shop for set-up which I have worked at for many years; and often with my collection of 9 cars. In fact, the technician quickly broke one of the adjustment screws while tightening it after making adjustments. The fastener looks like a cheap metal pan. Luckily, NAPA Auto Parts stocks an equivalent camshaft bolt for only $11 each. Look for NAPA chassis part number 264-3810. The tech tightened it to the specified 60 ft-lbs and all is well. I still suspect these cam bolts will take a hit and maintain proper alignment. I'll know for sure in a few months when I switch back to summer tires and remount them. When you get them, don't forget to save the regular screw just in case.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small house
Cons
