S5 Turbo struts and rear camber
I need to replace my struts - I've put it off way too long. I'm looking at these:

As far as you guys know, will these just bolt on?
Also, my alignment shop told me yesterday that my rear camber adjuster is frozen solid. Heat, Kroil, nothing worked to break it free. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

There is no rear camber adjustment from the factory. If it is the cam bolt on the front of the control arms they are talking about, that is the toe adjustment. They can be pretty darn stubborn, but hitting it with some penetrating oil once or twice a day for a week should help loosen it.
Yeah, those toe adjusters can be a real nightmare to get loose. I usually drop the subframe and hit the nuts with an air-hammer and lots of pb blaster. You also have to take car that the bolt does not spin as you are removing the nut or the eccentric spline will strip out.

Yes. But you should get an alignment after installing them either way.
