Steve D'Gerolamo at the Ultimate Garage now has these bolts and washers for
less than half of Korman's price.

If you do a lot of track events with these camber bolts, make sure you
remove and inspect them (and preferably replace them) at least once a year.
 I found a mild amount of thread wear on mine where the bolt goes through
the strut hole.
