For Pete's sake, how do you calibrate tool before use? Camber reading on the tool will be different with the wheel on the ground/loaded and with the wheel removed/hub unloaded, as when suspension drops hub down, camber changes.
You have to use a level or level source that you can trust is accurate and compare where it's set at. Adjust when you feel comfortable you are level at zero and see where it is. But what this video is saying is to check you camber before you begin. If you are at negative 1.5 degrees, and want 0 degrees, then whatever it is reading unloaded adjust until you get that 1.5 degrees back. Example: reads neg -1.5 loaded. Reads neg -2.8 unloaded. You want to remove 1.5, so you adjust until it reads -1.3 unloaded. Then when loaded with the vehicle weight it should read 0. However, it is not necessary to zero the level except on the rotor. Just add or subtract where you need to be when adjusting.
i thought camber bolts are for adjusting only not to be use as a mounting bolts,,i didnt see you take the camber adjusting bolt out did you take out the camber bolts?and put back the factory bolts? just wondering!!!
The SPC EZ-Cam bolts are to remain in the car to allow for future adjustment. Yes, the thread size is smaller than the OE strut bolts but all the current EZ-Cam bolts are grade 12.9. It is important to torque these bolts to the torque listed in the instruction and not more. With the correct torque on both bolts, there is sufficient clamping force to keep the strut and knuckle from pivoting.
This tool will work on many types of suspensions and that will determine if it should be loaded or unloaded. On the McPherson strut illustrated in the video the suspension is unloaded.

Correct
Great tool to have in your tool boss

Do not put it on top or bottom, because the disc is not right-angled!

Does the suspension have to be under load?
