alignment issues
Finally was able to take the car in for alignment and in need of eccentric bolts (1 rear and 2 fronts).....can't seem to locate a source for purchase. Do I have to go to the dealer for these?

The front camber bolts are about $22 each from the dealer; probably the only source for these. Front caster is adjusted by juggling shims on the upper arms front to rear and vice versa. No need to buy shims if they are all there. You simply move them around. The rears should already have an eccentric bolt on each side for the toe adjustment. The rear camber is done using different thickness spacers or shims on the axle joint flange. They come in .5mm stages of thickness. The usual shim from the factory is 4mm, if memory serves. For some reason, it is typically the right side that ends up needing the camber adjusted! A 6mm shim seems to be typical to correct it, but ask your alignment person. Dealer price on each of these shims is about $35, as I recall. Search this Forum for many threads on the front end service and adjustment. There is a bunch to learn!
