So I tryed to do the washer trick on my 99 SiR tonight, and now I cant tighten one of the bolts all the way. It goes in about half way and than it gets REALLY tight. All the other bolts went in, so I have no clue what the problem is. I even tried to use alot of WD-40, but without luck.

Could there be dirt inside thats makes it get really tight?

Is my car unsafe to drive like this for a day, I have to go to work tomorrow?

Any other suggestions?

I was only using hand tools, and its a pretty awkward place to work in, so you can really use all your strength.

its cross-threaded pal. Don't worry.. happens to the best of us. pull it out and re-thread it.

I've pulled it out like 10 times, and it doesnt help.

if someone can help me with this and putting on a new fuel filter, I will pay them $40.

imported_chris_v2

i know it doesnt help you have to RE-THREAD your threads. You put it in ****-eyed. Get a tap and die set and go to town.

I'll put your new filter on.. but im not touching another rear camber kit.

hahha, where do you live ?

imported_99CivicSiR

should I just buy a new bolt, or take it to honda ?

make sure the washers are between the car and the arm...not the bolt head and the arm.

^lol that would be funny

If you used 6 washers, I'm sure you would have had to use longer bolts. (Maybe around 50mm or maybe 60mm)

If one of them is giving you a problem, you may have to re-thread it.

imported_99CivicSiR

yea, I know Im doing it right. My car is lowered 2.25". I used a level on my tires, and its a alot better, but it needs like 2 more washers.

Im going tomorrow to the shop to get it re-threaded, and to get a new fuel filter.

What else should I do for a tune up.

Ive done: oil change, transmission, brake, clutch, coolant.

imported_99CivicSiR

By the way, im useing 50mm bolts, should that be good for 6 washers ?
