There are also camber bolt kits that you'll need if your MM's front end is lowered.

[RubberCtyRauder]

Summit racing, Tirerack, have them even a Amazon.these are if you lowered. Info found on SPC site. But expensive there

I lowered mine one coil in the front.

The 45K0220 are $34.79 each, 45K1069 are $31.79 each

Both P/N's will give you +/-2.5 degrees adjustment.

I also hope you know you have to modify the holes they slide through to adjust the camber correctly. And if you don't google spc camber bolt kit crown Vic. A good video on YouTube on how to install but kinda a pita.

[RubberCtyRauder]

SPC website has a install video but buy elsewhere as they are more expensive from them direct

[Fly007]

My question is do I need to order 1 or 2 of them? Some sellers say only 1 is needed, others say it only does 1 side? Can somebody that has bought them chime in, do we need 1 kit or 2?

You need (two) 2 camber bolts they are sold individually.

Factory will give you only +/- 1.5 degrees. The ones I listed will give you +/- 2.5 degrees of adjustment.

Are they a must have even tho I went only 1 coil shorter? I know on My old car I really needed them cuz I cut 2 coils on that one.


2004 - MM 1618 - DTR 537

[RubberCtyRauder]

I have them with 3/4 coil cut. It's your tires that may or may not wear on the inside edge

[RubberCtyRauder]

Was that two coils on a marquis or crown Vic? If so that is like 1 coil on a marauder as they were lower to begin with.

[Fly007]

You will need them, I cut 1 coil and just got it aligned, camber is in spec but at full negative end of spec and tech note said bolts at end of adjustment. In only 2 weeks I can tell my tires are wearing on inside edge and the car doesnt ride or handle right. Actually wishing I had only cut 1/2 coil instead of full coil, thinking about finding some stock springs and changing out when I do my ball joints and bushings.

[camelgrundle]

I definitely needed them and I cut a coil.

I have 2007 PI (thicker) cut springs in My Marauder now. It's a little more than an inch lower than factory height. On the GM that was factory GM springs cut 2 coils.

My car sits perfect right now, yes the inside tire wears a little more that's what I wanna fix. Looking into new sway bars to make it handle better. I hate the factory tire gap.

My car is at factory ride height, and i was only able to get car fixers specs exactly after i installed the Spc camber bolts, should have done it a long time ago!

I really do not see how you can get 2.5 degrees of camber adjustment out of these bolts. Aligning many MM's at work I have seen minimal adjustment with factory bolts never 1.5 degrees. (example = Camber -.9 degrees corrected to -.5 degrees after adjustment). As long as you zero the toe angle and your camber is not more than -1.0 degrees you will see decent front tire wear.

Thats exactly what I thought until I took my car in for alignment, and watched him go through the range of adjustment, these bolts make it possible!

[03Merc]

What r u the correct specs for factory height front tire alignment for the BF Goodrich KDWS 235/50/18? I know they are on here somewhere but there's been a lot of posts and it gets confusing.

do a google search for Marauder Carfixer's specs

When using the SPC or "extra" camber bolts, you'll need to elongate the cam slot(s) in the cross member. That's where you get the extra degrees of adjustment.

I believe you. Never had a MM low enough to need to go to that extreme I guess.
