Alignment Bolt Set IL Motorsport MX5 Mk1/2/2.5 Reviews

2 Rating 1 Reviews

High quality front or rear suspension alignment bolt set, made by IL Motorsport in Germany to exactly the same specification as the Genuine Mazda version.The front and rear suspension on the MX-5 is fully adjustable for 'camber', 'castor' and 'toe' by means of adjusters on the lower wishbone arms. Various problems can be encountered with these adjusters. 1. The bolts can be seized in position requiring replacement.2. The early (pre Mk2) bolts can stretch in use, allowing the alignment settings to move.In both cases we would recommend replacing the bolts with the latest version. You also have to replace the plates and nuts at the same time as they are not interchangable.You require 8 sets per car, 4 at the front and 4 at the rear, ie 2 per wishbone arm.A set is 1 x Bolt, 1 x Cam Plate, 1 x NutFits all Mk1, Mk2 & 2.5 models, 1989>2005

“Booked my car in for a full alignment so decided I would replace all the bolts at the same time to allow for any that were stuck after 20 years of mud and salt being thrown at it. However when I returned to pick my car up from the specialist who did the alignment they told me the bolts that were on it were better quality. The alignment cost me an extra 1 hours labour as they struggled to get the nut done up without over torquing the bolt due to the coating/bad thread match. Guess you get what you pay for and I should have paid the little extra for the OEM. Will know for next time as I was warned these bolts will not be up to the task of a re-alignment so next time round guess I will pay for the better option.”
