I'm pretty sure that from the factory, all four lower strut bolts are identical. I recall that New Dimensions used to sell the special bolts which provide the adjustabilty. They were sold in pairs, since most people were just interested in the ability to set the camber to factory specs, or to add a small amount of negative camber. I wanted more negative camber than just one bolt provided, so I bought two pair, which allowed me to get a bit more negative camber. I seem to recall that some VW dealer parts departments sold the bolts as well under a factory part number. I think the intention was to allow setting camber after collision repairs.
