I have a 2007 LE with 35K miles. Went in for oil change and alignment today. The rep informed me that I need to add cam bolt kit because they could not completely adjust camber...it was to the full manufacturing specs but still off a 1/2 degree.

I dont really understand why you would need to add bolts...he made it sound normal, which begs the question, why doesnt nissan adjust specs accordingly. I dont recall ever doing this on any other vehicle i have owned. Sounds to me like i should have just ordered them along with my window tint at time of purchase.

My knowledge of cars is limited and only gets worse when you talk about suspension. I am just trying to get a better understanding of what I paid for today. thanks in advance for any input.

You probably need cam bolts then. Nissan stopped putting them in trucks part way through 2005, so most trucks do not have them.

so your truck is stock and needs cam bolts? yea they stopped putting cam bolts on our trucks after 05 sucks..

My truck was out of alignment, and I took it to Nissan. They put in the bolts to align it and didn't charge me. /shurg

He has a 2007. I'm pretty sure Nissan will only do that within 1yr/12,000 miles.

I have an 07 and needed to add cam bolts to mine. Sounds silly but true. I called Greg (PRG) and cam bolts arrived in the mail box 2-3 days later. If you are stock. I would insist dealer install cam bolts.

+1. Should be a dealer prob, not owner prob.

thanks for the replies...helpful in understanding issue of what bolts...not sure why nissan stopped including.
Yes...2007 with 35K. I just dont get why several have had it performed for free and i was charged around 200 parts and labor. those who got for free was it in first 1yr/12K? I feel violated! my experience is dealers only do things for free if they get called out on a screw up (i was refunded a 500 service charge once) or can pass on to manufacturer. Before i fire off a letter, can anyone shed light...
