Gary, the bolts have an offset (eccentric) so you must mark the position of the bolts before you remove them or you will have to have a 4 wheel alignment check done.
These bolts move the back wheels slightly in and out at the top, like altering the camber.

For god's sake don't buy the ebay ones Gaz, they are shite and you'll be replacing them in a year. Get a pair of oe ones from eurocarparts, they are far sturdier.

I completely agree with you mate, that's why I got my first lot off the bay, trying to save the pennies.
I was gob smacked when it was failed on them during the mot a year later! You really do get what you pay for with these :roll:
