Can't get the rear camber adjusted.
If previous posters are still following--where did you get your rear camber bolts?
I need a camber bolt and toe bolts. All are rusted out. They will have to be cut out and replaced but I can't find the bolts anywhere.
Anyone have a source?
I can't get the rear of the vehicle aligned at all until I get new bolts.

I've been through the gauntlet with rear wheel alignment issues on my 2001 Montero XLS. I almost sheet canned the truck since the local shop wanted $2,500 to fix it, but I did it myself for under $900. The rear camber and toe adjuster bolts were rusted and froze up on the lower control arms and also froze up on the upper toe control arms; preventing any rear wheel alignment or adjustment. I was eating up rear tires in 5-6K miles! I used a sawzall to cut off the old eccentric adjuster bolts (2 lowers and 2 uppers). I then had to replace all 4 control arms since they become unuseable once you cut off the eccentric adjuster bolts. You can order new replacement eccentric cam adjuster bolts off eBay for $6.95 each (free shipping). It's a FEBEST Alignment Cam Bolt, FEBEST Part # 0429-006 for the Rear Lower Control Arms (wheel camber adjustment bolt). If you need to order new replacement eccentric toe adjustment bolts, you need to order a FEBEST Alignment Cam Bolt, FEBEST Part # 0429-005 for the Rear Toe Control Arms. I found FEBEST Auto Parts to be an excellent source for OEM alignment bolts. They also sell the matching washers to go with the eccentric cam bolts for $6.95 each.
Mine were all frozen on my 2001 Montero. They didn't look very rusted but probably had Never been adjusted. I couldn't break them free with impact wrench and shop couldn't free them with 6' leverage bar.
I took it home after buying 3 cans of different penetration oils and began this process for 5 days:
Morning---
Tapped back and rear of bolts/nuts for about 30 seconds repeatedly, with a big wrench or small hammer.
Spray them. Tapped again.
Sprayed again.
Evening--
Repeated morning routine.
When I took it back the next week the tech said they all came loose easily. But...he still couldn't get it in spec because the bushings were too old and compressed. So be ready for that problem.
