This is where the camber bolts go, the have lobes on them to pull the camber in or out in greater proportions. These aren't pictures from neon's, but its the same concept.

So, you replace a factory bolt with a different one? If that's the case, does $340 sound like a fair price to pay someone to install 4 bolts?

$340 is way to much IMO to have them install 4 bolts that most of us can replace ourselves. The bolts themselves cost around $40 for all 4 wheels. I could see maybe $50 to install the bolts for a half hour of work.(and that's being generous) It shouldn't take more than 1/2 and hour to put them in.

It takes about 1 and half hours to do this job. I have done this to my neon. Also to soljah not a good price. look on ebay for ingalls camber kits I payed around 20 for all 4 bolts. Its not hard to do it yourself. any questions just pm me.

The bolts will come with instuctions inside. As I cant find mine. Ill give you a list of tools you will want and need.
1)Jack, Set of Jackstands (the walmart ones work great I have 4 pairs), Impact gun (air driven), 18mm (impact socket), 21mm wrench, Hammer(brass would be best but if you dont have one, any hammer will do), Bottle of Anti Seize, A padded seat to sit on (optional), And about a whole day of freetime. When I put my new suspension on here in a couple weeks I will take pics and upload them for you.
