Camber is set by adjusting the cam bolt on the front lower link (camber arm). Toe is set by adjusting the cam bolt on the rear lower link (that holds the spring). If you replace the front lower link (camber arm) then you will also replace the cam bolt with a lockout kit so the only adjustment is via the arm itself. There is no need to have two adjustment points.

The toe adjustment is accomplished with the cam bolt on the rear lower link. If the toe cannot be set within spec then you will replace this cam bolt with the SPC bolt which requires enlarging the hole at the inboard attachment of the lower link.

Hope this helps.

Useful information!

However, could it be said that if the stock cam bolt is enough to keep the factory camber arms in place, they would also be enough to keep an aftermarket adjustable arm in place, thus making the lockout kit NOT 100% necessary...? Despite the fact that it is not necessary to have two points of adjustment, I think a lot of folks are wondering if they MUST get the lockout kit in order to use the SPL or SPC camber arms. To which the answer is no, you don't, BUT it would be a good idea to eliminate that variable.

That being said, the toe bolts will likely be necessary to get within factory spec.

Key points:

Lockout kit and toe/camber bolts are NOT the same thing
No you do not HAVE to get the lockout kit to use aftermarket adjustable arms (but it would be a good idea if you are doing any sort of hard driving)
There's no difference between the functionality of the SPL and SPC arms. SPL is just much higher quality
