Question about front camber bolts.

I got mine off of ebay a while ago and was waiting til I got new tie rod ends to put them on. What seems weird to me is that the cam lobe on the bew bolts isn't as big as the stock bolts. It moves around inside the hole and doesn't seem like it would hold just right. They are OBX by the way. Is this right or did I jipped and get some from a previous gen civic.

Did you place the washer near the head of the bolt correctly seated inside the hole ? There is a little stud sticking out on part of the washer. It should be placed in the inner part of the hole away from you. If it's correct, you might have gotten the kit for the 01~02. 03~04s are different in sizes.

That's probably it. I did but the tabs inside the hole but that wouldn't be enough to keep the bolt from moving around inside of the hole.

How about the rear. I was crossing the numbers on the OBX web site and the rear kit I have is listed under the RSX. Will this work? I haven't even tried to install the rear yet. I want to make sure before I take more **** apart.

RSX, SI, and other Civics use the same rear camber kit.

IN the front, 01-02 are smaller (14mm), 03-04 are bigger (16mm). So the cam bolts are incorrect for your application.

Dragncrosmember,
If you are still wondering about the bolt size still, I had the same problem. When I got my SPC front bolts I noticed they were smaller. The thing is that Honda changed bolt sizes. 01-02 bring 14mm bolts, 03+ bring 16mm bolts instead. Just return your OBX bolts and tell them you need the 16mm ones. That's what I had to do with SPC, hopefully OBX will hook you up.

Yeah I fingered it out. I ended up ordered a set from SPC. If I had know to just get the RSX kit I would have been better off. I got the OBX kit off ebay so I didn't even bother trying to get a return. Any one need a front set for 01-02?
