if you’re talking by mm then I would say 5mm is the correct size for HKS camber bolts. I wrote 3/16 so most of the people here in this forum using Amercian chart sizes, so I wrote it in American chart size to not get them confused. BTW, 5mm would work well for the HKS camber bolts and I tried it.

Ya but American sizes arent the same as metric. You cant use a 3/16" allen for a bolt designed for 5mm allen. The car and all its components are metric regard less if the car is here in America.

I used a 3/16 to adjust my 5mm.

Call the cops. Idgaf!

I’ve used a star bit to loosen Allen bolts. I made sure to use 5w40 oil on the bit though.

maybe you’re right, I think I got confused between hex head sizes and the ball end sizes. BTW, I will share what are the exact tools I have used to loosen HKS camber bolts so no one gets confused.

Yesterday I adjusted my camber bolts by using these tools and did the alignment at the shop.

I marked both of them in red color

I have both of these sets, and both of them worked great. I used the first photo screwdriver. BTW, You can loosen the bolts without jacking your car.

5mm = 5mm. 3/16” = 4.78mm. Yes it will work. No it’s not right. Using a ball tip Allen wrench is only asking for a stripped bolt if using the 3/16”. Some top hat bolts are button head style bolts (normally a 4mm Allen) and those, especially stainless ones, strip like no other if you use the wrong size socket.

well it has been settled, for sure 5mm is the ideal size. Thanks guys, that avoided a headeach in a few months.
