We had to cut the cam bolts off because we couldn't get the nuts loose. I got new camber alignment bolts with camber plates in the mail the other day. I've been trying to find a nut that fits on it for like 2 months. Does it matter what type or size and thickness of nut and washers I use? I was hoping to just use castlenuts or any nuts I find in the garage without it messing with the alignment.

Not sure what you mean by that. If the original bolts were disturbed, then the car has to be aligned. Castle nuts require cotter pins. A regular nut with lock washer should be sufficient. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Those are "unique" also called concentric (?) meaning off center on purpose for the adjustment. No don't drive it IMO you'll just have super lousy road feel and ruin tires so far off on alignment. Nuts should come with the bolts or for just moving it around measure the threads it's done all the time comes with tap and die sets. Then seek out local hardware for that size that is self locking if none I'd use star lock washers, T Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jan 19, 2021, 3:41 AM Post #4 of 6 (1148 views) Re: Camber alignment rear assist arm bolts Sign In Feeble attempt to show picture of the bolts and how they work. Hope it shows the nuts are self locking and bolt's shaft is the "concentric" part of it. Nut could be generic but need that bolt. That BTW was for this car on look up again may now show up will not sign off web isn't working well for me, Tom > Camber Kits for 2011 Kia Optima ...ebay.com Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jan 19, 2021, 5:46 AM Post #5 of 6 (1139 views) Re: Camber alignment rear assist arm bolts Sign In That's an aftermarket "add-on" kit Tom. Sounds like he may be dealing with OEM stuff. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jan 19, 2021, 6:12 AM Post #6 of 6 (1123 views) Re: Camber alignment rear assist arm bolts Sign In At a glance shows a self locking nut. In hand they don't travel up or out of threaded parts so do NOT need a lock washer. That alone is a hardware store item note usually a plastic and distorted end to that type, T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
