Regardless of the warn loose or stretched bolts, it may add negative camber because the spindle and or the strut have elongated holes that will change camber depending on the location you "tightly" secured (tightened the bolts) the lower shock body to spindle. If the bolts are failing, the symptom is more negative camber and possible a clunking sound when corning under load.

By keeping the bolt in, your rim/tire to body distance is increase to accommodate wider or poor offset wheels and keep them from rubbing the coilover. By doing this, you have to only rely on the upper camber plate for any camber adjustment.

that sounds about right for 9" wheels an a s13. someone please confirm the max wheel size and offset without spacers and correct camber.
