all four is a better buy ,, if u only need two (one on each side = 2degrees each way, all four = 2 or 4 degrees each side foward or back, ) you could always buy the kit from rob (Needswings) and sell 2 of the bolts to make them $20 to $25 a set.

Yea, seems like one each side would adjust castor. Two each side will do camber.

The forward bolt on the A frame is primarily camber. The aft bolt is primarily caster. However, you should think of the alignment as a three leg stool. Look at the suspension; It has basically three points of attachment. If you change any one of the legs on that stool the other two angles also change to a smaller degree. Changing caster or camber also changes toe which then should be adjusted back to spec.
