Camber Bolts/OEM Alignment Procedure

Does anyone know if there is a OEM Ford procedure and part for adjusting camber? I can't find a part number for OEM crash bolts for the 2015.

Anyone got access to the service manual?

Damn, no one knows? I need some extra camber for Auto-X!

A lot of us are in the same boat. As far as camber goes up front I think we may be out of luck in the FS. I haven't seen any crash bolts yet.

the procedure is written in the FSM and the bolts are available from ford. i don't know off the part number top of my head, but everybody i know personally competing in an S550 FS nationally (chris cox, dick rasmussen, jadrice toussaint) has 'em on.

found it:

W715295-S439

it's the bolt furthest left (the middle one was the same part number early on that has been taken out production, and the one on the right is what comes stock):



and the FSM procedure from the 2015 manual to slot your struts legally for FS:

Oh sweet baby jesus! Thank you for posting this up!
I just got back from an AutoX #5 of the season and the front end having no camber is def. holding me back in FS. Time to order these up.

Thank you again!

I noticed it says they are for an explorer when you click the link, is this the case?

I Gotta read through this!

i bet the ones you ordered are splined like the stock ones. they'll work fine with slotted struts, but you won't be getting as much camber as you could be given that the diameter of the bolt neck is almost half a mm more (-2 is about as much as you can get slotting with the replacement bolts and loosening/tightening everything else back up). millimeters matter :lol:

According to the '15 manual all service bolts are not splined and are smaller diameter.....We will see. I will follow up when I get them. The other number is cheaper than the one I ordered

THANK YOU! I knew someone here would come through. Ordering those badboys now.
