Sounds like inspecting these bolts is the next thing on my to-do list.

I'm going to see if the shop where I get my alignments done would do this for me.

If you guys take the bolts out for grease, make sure you take the eccentric bolt sleeve too. The sleeve freezing in the bushing is the main problem which won't allow you to make any adjustments since the eccentric bolt sleeve won't be able to turn independently of the bushing.

I used marine grade antiseize, since that is what I had. Liberally lube bolt, lube eccentic sleeve. Should only have to ever do it once.

Boy do I feel your pain. Looking this up every single guide I could find, including some really helpful videos from Naus on youtube were just getting the compliance bushings out. Felt like I was the only one that had frozen front camber too... huuuuge pita, maybe not the best way, but I ended up using a dremmel to cut them out.. only thing small enough I could get in there.

Oh and all new hardware is damn expensive from Honda... the mugen/spoon bushes were pricey, but didn't think I'd be spending so much on just hardware too. Take Chris_Lum's advice, seriously, you never want to do this again lol.

Job done, now just need to get an alignment. Took it out for a test drive steering feels all wierd prolly cuz i just turned the camber to max and i was not sure how the castor was set so i just put them in. So im sure my alignment is all out of wack! Yea those damn bolts were amazingly expensive for sure.

save your old bolts if the heads aren't too bent out of shape, get them cleaned and resell them to recoup some money
