No, just swapped out oe eccentric toe bolts with SPL bolts and camber arms came with new eccentric bolts. Is that an issue? Never had to buy a lockout kit before. What’s the benefits to a lockout kit? Are we talking for the toe bolt or for the actual bolt on the camber arm closer to wheel?

Yeah already ahead of you! I got car up on stands right now. Checking camber arms. They’re perfectly fine. Everything tight. They have regreaseable metal bushings so I definitely wanna keep them on over putting the stock rubber bushing ones back on. These seem a lot more sturdy. Definitely going to have my guy at Nissan flip tire (I’m used to that “stance” life haha) and re align it. Or I guess just double check. If alignments not out (as it was just done 3 months ago) then I’ll just flip tire and take it easy til spring (only a few months of winter here in the south so no big deal)


Only other thing I can think of is, I had a nail in that tire a month after I got it. I caught it as soon as it happened, had it professionally patched and checked the psi regularly for the first month or so. Was always at 35-38psi as it is now. Only thing I could think is maybe when the tire had a nail it dropped psi but I never noticed the tread wear when I had the patch put on. So doubtful.
