Lexus ES300 Alignment Camber Bolt Assortments
Lexus Es300 Alignment camber bolt assortments
Starting at $802.95, AutoBuffy stocks 1 alignment camber bolt assortments from MOOG. Camber bolts are eccentric or slotted fasteners that replace standard strut-to-knuckle bolts, allowing you to dial in negative or positive camber. Without them, a vehicle with worn or bent suspension geometry runs uneven tire wear, pulls to one side, and fails alignment specs.
Signs your Lexus Es300 needs new alignment camber bolts
- Rapid or uneven tire wear on the inner or outer edge of the tread — a direct sign of uncorrected camber
- Vehicle pulls consistently to one side even after a standard alignment attempt
- Alignment technician reports camber is out of spec and cannot be corrected with existing hardware
- Visible camber bolt corrosion, seized eccentric collar, or a bolt that no longer rotates during adjustment
- Steering wheel sits off-center while driving straight, paired with unequal camber readings side to side
- Squealing or scrubbing noise from tires during turns caused by camber-induced tire scrub
Which alignment camber bolt assortment should you buy for your Lexus Es300?
The key decisions are how much camber correction you need, whether the bolts fit your strut flange thickness, and whether you want a bolt-only kit or a full assortment with eccentric washers and hardware included. More correction range is not always better — using more offset than the suspension geometry allows can bind the strut or reduce caster. Match the degree of correction to your actual alignment readings.
Small-offset assortment (approx. ±1.0°–1.5°)
Best for
Mild camber correction after minor suspension wear or lowering under 1 inch
What you get
Eccentric bolts with narrow offset range; easier to fine-tune; less stress on strut slots
Medium-offset assortment (approx. ±1.5°–2.5°)
Best for
Moderate lowering, aftermarket coilovers, or vehicles with known factory camber limitations
What you get
Wider adjustment window; typically includes multiple bolt diameters to fit various strut flanges
Large-offset assortment (approx. ±2.5°–3.5°+)
Best for
Aggressive lowering, track or performance builds, or heavily modified suspension
What you get
Maximum correction range; requires careful installation to avoid binding; often sold as a heavy-duty bolt set
Full hardware assortment kit
Best for
Shops or DIYers servicing multiple vehicles or replacing all strut fasteners at once
What you get
Multiple bolt sizes, eccentric washers, cam bolts, and locking nuts — covers a wide range of makes and applications

Replacing alignment camber bolts on a Lexus Es300
Moderate⏱ 1–2 hours (plus separate alignment appointment)Floor jack and jack stands or a liftBreaker bar and socket setTorque wrenchPenetrating oil (for seized OEM bolts)Marker or paint pen (to mark original bolt position before removal)
Remove the wheel, spray the existing strut-to-knuckle bolts with penetrating oil, and mark their position before breaking them loose — this gives you a reference point if you need to return to near-stock camber. Slide the new eccentric bolts through the strut flange, position the cam washer, and snug the hardware finger-tight so the eccentric can still rotate. Drive immediately to an alignment shop; the technician will rotate the bolts to dial in the correct camber and then torque everything to the manufacturer's specification before locking the adjustment in place.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to replace alignment camber bolts on a Lexus Es300?
Parts start at $802.95 at AutoBuffy. A full DIY job — bolts plus a post-installation alignment — typically runs between the part cost and a moderate shop labor charge. Professional installation adds roughly one to two hours of labor depending on accessibility, plus the cost of a four-wheel alignment at a shop.
Do I need an alignment after installing camber bolts on my Lexus Es300?
Yes, always. Camber bolts change wheel geometry by design, so installing them without a follow-up alignment defeats the purpose. You need a four-wheel alignment immediately after installation to set camber, toe, and caster to the manufacturer's specifications or your desired performance target.
Can I install camber bolts myself on my Lexus Es300?
The bolt swap itself is manageable for an intermediate DIYer with basic tools and a lift or jack stands. The limiting factor is that you cannot complete the job without access to an alignment machine. Plan to drive the Lexus Es300 directly to an alignment shop after torquing the new bolts in place.
How do I know what size camber bolt fits my Lexus Es300?
You need the original strut-to-knuckle bolt diameter — typically 12mm, 14mm, or 16mm — and the flange thickness of your strut housing. Check your factory service data or measure the existing bolts before ordering. An assortment kit covering multiple diameters is a practical choice if you are unsure.
How long do camber bolts last on a Lexus Es300?
Quality camber bolts do not have a fixed replacement interval. They typically last many years unless the eccentric collar seizes from corrosion, the bolt stretches from over-torquing, or the strut slot wears and allows the bolt to shift. Inspect them any time you have the strut off or notice alignment drift returning.
Will camber bolts fix my Lexus Es300's alignment if the strut or control arm is bent?
No. Camber bolts correct geometry within the adjustment range the hardware allows, but they cannot compensate for bent structural components. If the strut, knuckle, or control arm is physically deformed, those parts must be replaced first. An alignment technician can identify the root cause before you order parts.
