    Based on the alignment check that I had performed, I have a significant amount of cross camber between the two front wheels.

    The front camber values are perfectly within specs, but the amount of camber is not desirable.

    SPC sells their #81290 bolt kit which I have put in an offer for. However, I also heard that Toyota sells a set of OE camber bolts. Is this true?

    Has anyone else had to use camber bolts in order to fine tune their alignment settings?

    I had one of the OEM camber bolts installed on my 2007 to correct the camber on one side. Basically the camber bolt is just a slightly smaller diameter shoulder bolt that allows more adjustment (more play) than the original bolt.

    I do use SPC camber bolts but not correct my alignment I just need it to clear my wheels from my fender :)

    Toyota has a selection of camber bolts. You select which one based on how much and what direction you want to change your alignment.

    The SPC method sounds easier

    It turns out the car did not need camber bolts at all.
