Search Alignment Kit for rear Suspension
Hi,
after a realy realy long time im back here in the Forum.
A few month ago I've seen that there is a possibility to get my rear suspension alignmed.
Now I'm looking for some Alignment Kit's
I've found these at Rockauto - seem to be cheap and effective.
Can some one tell me something about the quality and usefullness of these Kits?
Do you know any other parts I could use, and where to find them?
Thanks.
The Kits are here:

Whats a CAM Bolt ??

I’m not sure if you know, but in case you don’t, any part from the Grand Am will fit on an Alero, as far as I know, there pretty much the same.

Hi, yes I know this. But what do you mean by it?
Is there a review for an Alignment Kit for Grand Am's?
Greetings

This is a cam bolt.
It has an eccentric in the middle of it so that you can make camber changes by turning the bolt. They can be installed in either the upper location, or both the upper and lower locations.

Ahh so Cam Bolts are for Camber - "doh stupid german" 
Have you tried a Kit like this? Do they work or even help a bit, or just a waste of money?
have a camber of 0°02' Left and -0°17' Right.
and a toe in / out of 0°07' L and 0°30' R
So i thougt such a kit would be nice - especially at 11$ at Rockauto
Thanks for you help
Julian

Yes, they work.... I'd recommend Ingalls ones. They have to be torqued down good too!
