Fitment, Shipping & Product Support
The Axiom Cam Bolt Kit (SKU AXGM0026) restores full caster and camber adjustment range on 2001–2010 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500, 2500HD, and 3500HD trucks. These replace the factory bolts securing the upper control arm to the frame — a common wear point on high-mileage GM trucks. Each bolt uses an offset eccentric washer for precise camber and caster adjustment, paired with a top-lock flange nut design that resists movement under heavy loads, suspension articulation, and off-road impacts. Bright zinc finish resists corrosion. Works with virtually any upper control arm configuration at the factory mounting location — not compatible with lift kits that relocate the UCA mounting points. Services both left and right control arms. Lifetime warranty to the original purchaser. A front-end alignment is required after installation.

When to Use This Kit
- After installing a leveling kit or lift kit that alters front suspension geometry (without relocating UCA mounting points)
- After replacing upper control arms, ball joints, tie rods, or bushings
- When factory cam bolts are seized, stripped, or corroded and cannot be adjusted
- When an alignment shop cannot achieve caster/camber spec with factory hardware
- As a preventive replacement during front suspension rebuilds on high-mileage trucks
Installation Notes
- Alignment mandatory. A full front-end alignment (caster, camber, toe) is required after cam bolt installation. Do not drive until aligned.
- Seized bolt removal. Factory cam bolts on high-mileage or rust-belt trucks are frequently seized in the control arm bracket. Apply penetrating oil and let it soak before removal. Heat applied to the bracket (not the bolt) can assist removal. Use a breaker bar, not an impact wrench, to avoid stripping the cam lobe.
- Torque specs. Torque to OEM specification for 2001–2010 GM 1500/2500HD/3500HD control arm mounts. Torque with suspension at ride height — not at full droop.
- UCA relocation check. Confirm your upper control arm mounting point is still at the factory location before ordering — this kit is not compatible with lift kits that relocate UCA mounts.

Critical Compatibility
| Configuration | Notes |
|---|---|
| Lift kits that relocate UCA mounting points | NOT compatible — this kit is designed for factory-location upper control arm mounts only |
| 2011 and newer GM trucks | Does not fit — different control arm bolt configuration |
| Seized cam bolts | Use penetrating oil and a breaker bar — never an impact wrench, which can strip the cam lobe |
| Torquing at full droop | Will preload the bushing and cause premature failure — torque only at ride height |
Common Questions
Will this work with my high-clearance upper control arms?
Only if your UCA mounting points remain at the factory location. If your lift kit or UCA setup relocates the mounting points, this kit is not designed for that configuration — confirm with us before ordering.
My factory cam bolts are seized — how do I remove them?
Apply penetrating oil and let it soak. Heat applied to the bracket (not the bolt) can help. Use a breaker bar rather than an impact wrench to avoid stripping the cam lobe.
Do I need an alignment after installing this?
Yes, mandatory. Cam bolts set the adjustment range — the alignment technician dials in the final caster and camber position.
What's the locking mechanism that keeps these from backing out?
A top-lock flange nut design that resists movement under heavy loads, suspension articulation, and off-road impacts — a stronger hold than factory hardware over time.
The Obsidian Take
The AXGM0026 is for the 2001-2010 GM 1500/2500HD/3500HD owner whose factory cam bolts are seized, stripped, or simply worn out from years of alignment adjustments — restoring full caster and camber range with a top-lock design that holds under real-world abuse. Bright zinc finish, lifetime warranty, services both sides.
The one thing that matters most: confirm your upper control arm mounting points are still at the factory location. This kit is not designed for setups that relocate the UCA mount — confirm with us if you're running that kind of lift system.
Non-Returnable Notice: Once installed, this kit is non-returnable. Confirm UCA mounting location and model year before ordering. A full front-end alignment is required after installation.
