Has any one used these. Are they worth it on h&r springs.

You don’t need camber bolts. There’s more than enough adjustment for any static coil on the market.

I kinda figured as much. I’m going to try out the piu strut so I figured if it helps I’d throw it in. There is a pretty noticeable popping going on and some on center dullness so I’m also replacing end links with the steeda joints.

The front is gonna sit at -.8° give or take .1
That’s perfectly fine and no bolts are needed.

Mine sits at -1.4 on front driver side and -.7 on front passenger side with Steeda springs. They claim camber is not adjustable on the front. So I had to buy these bolts. I wish mine sat around -.8 on both sides… that’d be perfect, wouldn’t have had to buy the bolts.. All my suspension is in good shape, guess I’m just unlucky.

A good shop would have loosened and centered your front subframe. It’s super easy to do but they’d rather sell you parts.

For S&Gs measure the ride height on each front side and let us know if they are even (ish).

First I’m hearing that as an option. To be fair, they didn’t try to sell me parts. They explained how there wasn’t an adjustment option on the struts/control arms and that their alignment database for the Explorer ST does not give an option for camber adjustment. I’ve been in for multiple alignments. I explained to them how to do rear camber a while back the first time I took it in, but front they claim is unadjustable. Guy spent like an hour on it trying his best last time I was there. They told me I’m going to need something that allows adjustment. I bought the SPC front camber bolts off Steeda because I want my front camber to match. Just came in the mail yesterday.

They’ve never seemed to rush my alignment or sell me parts, just genuinely didn’t know that was an option I guess. I will present that to them the next time I go in, because these camber bolts say they’re at least an hour of install time..
