Camber cam bolts......

[Wilecoyote]

I'm replacing my upper arms soon. Do I need greaseable or not? I'm curious. I'm looking @ the non grease ACdelco sets cuase their cheaper than some of the other brands, but I trust their quality. If I use them would moly grease be ok.

Normally, "non-greaseable" parts come with grease already in them. What I suggest to most people, is if they grease their stuff regularly, grease-able ones are great. but for someone like me who isn't 100% up-to-date with servicing my truck, greaseless seems to last just as long.

The bolts don't need to be greased. They're stationary....do the bolts have channels in them to direct the grease to the cams? The only benefit I could see from grease would be moving the cams during alignment, but that would only be a convenience for the serviceman, as far as I know.

I thought the A arm bushings sleeves swing on the bolts as they move up and down as the suspention cylcles.

No, the bolts lock them in place. The movement is in the rubber bushing itself. That's why the final tightening is supposed to be at ride height.

Should I buy the moog part K6302hd w the double flat bolts and taller bolt heads and nuts? they're only 6 $s more then the ACdelco sets I bought.

Why do you need new cam bolts at all? The original ones went missing?

Rusty and an idiot trying to an alignment tried to turn a bolt w/o loosing the nut, the camber was worse afterwards.

Make sure to knock the bits out of the frame to give you a chance at getting the alignment right while you're in there.
