An adjustment bolt for adjusting the camber angle in a vehicle. The adjustment bolt includes a head, a neck, a lobe, and a threaded portion. The head is configured to provide a gripping surface for a tightening tool (e.g., pliers, wrench). The head has a first diameter and a first centerline. The neck extends eccentrically from the bottom surface of the head and the neck has a second diameter and a second centerline. The lobe extends eccentrically outward from a bottom surface of the neck and the lobe has a third diameter and a centerline that is the same as the first centerline. The threaded portion extends eccentrically outward from a bottom surface of the lobe and has a third centerline. The first centerline, the second centerline, and the third centerline are different from one another.

1. An adjustment bolt for adjusting the camber angle in a vehicle comprising a head configured to provide a gripping surface for a tightening tool, wherein the head has a first diameter and a first centerline;a neck extending eccentrically from a bottom surface of the head, wherein the neck has a second diameter and a second centerline;a lobe extending eccentrically outward from the neck, wherein the lobe has a third diameter and the first centerline, such that the head and lobe each have the first centerline; anda threaded portion extending eccentrically from outward from the lobe, wherein the threaded portion has a third centerline; andwherein the first centerline, the second centerline and the third centerline are different from one another. 2. The adjustment bolt of claim 1, wherein along one side of the adjustment bolt a portion of each of the neck, the lobe, and the threaded portion intersect along a single plane. 3. The adjustment bolt of claim 1, wherein a major diameter of the threaded portion is effectively flush with a first side of the lobe. 4. The adjustment bolt of claim 3, wherein a second side of the lobe extends past the threaded portion. 5. The adjustment bolt of claim 1, wherein the first centerline is at a distance approximately equal to a radius of the lobe from a side surface of the adjustment bolt;the second centerline is at a distance approximately equal to a radius of the neck from a side surface of the adjustment bolt; andthe third centerline is at a distance approximately equal to a radius of the threaded portion from a side surface of the adjustment bolt. 6. The adjustment bolt of claim 1, wherein a material comprising the adjustment bolt is steel alloy. 7. An adjustment assembly for adjusting a camber angle of a wheel for an automobile comprising an adjustment washer comprising a prong extending away at a first angle from a body of the washer; anda tang extending perpendicularly from the body of the washer, wherein the tang is configured to be inserted into a receiving aperture on a flange of a vehicle suspension system; andan adjustment bolt configured to be inserted into the adjustment washer, comprising a head;a neck extending eccentrically from a bottom surface of the head, wherein the neck is substantially cylindrically shaped and the neck has a neck centerline;a cam extending eccentrically from a right bottom surface of the neck opposite of the head, wherein the cam is substantially cylindrically shaped and has a cam centerline;a threaded portion extending eccentrically from a right bottom surface of the cam, such that along a right side surface of the adjustment bolt the neck, the cam and a major diameter of the threaded portion are effectively flush, and the threaded portion has a thread centerline; andwherein the neck centerline is different from the thread centerline. 8. The adjustment assembly of claim 7, further comprising a locking nut configured to be threaded onto the threaded portion. 9. The adjustment assembly of claim 7, wherein the adjustment bolt is steel alloy. 10. The adjustment assembly of claim 7, wherein the cam centerline is different from the neck centerline and the thread centerline. 11. The adjustment assembly of claim 10, wherein the cam centerline has a first height measured from a right side of the adjustment bolt;the neck centerline has a second height measured from a right side surface of the adjustment bolt;the thread centerline has a third height measured from a right side surface of the adjustment bolt; andwherein the first height is larger than the third height and the third height is larger than the second height. 12. The adjustment assembly of claim 7, wherein the head further comprises a hexagonally shaped body; anda plate extending outwards from a bottom surface of the hexagonally shaped body. 13. The adjustment assembly of claim 7, wherein the tang of the adjustment washer is configured to secure the adjustment bolt at a select position within a receiving aperture on the flange for a suspension system for a vehicle. 14. A method for adjusting a camber angle in a vehicle comprising sliding an adjustment washer onto an adjustment bolt, wherein the adjustment washer comprises a prong extending away at a first angle from a body of the washer; anda tang extending perpendicularly to the body of the washer, wherein the tang is configured to be inserted into a receiving aperture on a flange of a vehicle suspension system; andthe adjustment bolt comprises a head;a neck extending eccentrically from a bottom surface of the head, wherein the neck is substantially cylindrically shaped and the neck has a neck centerline;a lobe extending eccentrically from a right bottom surface of the neck opposite of the head, wherein the lobe is substantially cylindrically shaped and has a lobe centerline; anda threaded portion extending eccentrically from a right bottom surface of the lobe, such that along a right side surface of the adjustment bolt the neck, the lobe and a major diameter of the threaded portion are effectively flush, wherein the threaded portion has a thread centerline, and wherein the neck centerline, the lobe centerline, and the thread centerline are different from one another;aligning the tang of the adjustment washer with the lobe of the adjustment bolt;inserting the threaded portion of the adjustment bolt into a receiving aperture on a flange operably connected to a strut of the vehicle;inserting the tang of the adjustment washer into the receiving aperture such that a bottom surface of the adjustment washer is substantially flush with a first outer surface of the flange; androtating the adjustment bolt within the receiving aperture to obtain a desired camber angle. 15. The method of claim 14, further comprising inserting the tang of the adjustment washer into the receiving aperture such that the tang is oriented towards a tire of the vehicle to achieve a negative camber angle. 16. The method of claim 15, further comprising inserting a lock nut onto the threaded portion of the adjustment bolt behind the washer; andthreading the lock nut onto the threaded portion such that the locking nut is substantially flush with a second outer surface of the flange. 17. The method of claim 14, further comprising inserting the tang of the adjustment washer into the receiving aperture such that the tang is oriented away from a tire of the vehicle to achieve a positive camber angle.
