you dont really need a how to...its really simple

but...

Tools Needed
-14mm Wrench
-17mm Wrench

Parts Needed

**Removal of the shock body is also NOT needed**

-First remove your wheel and jack the car up

-Then Remove the 2 14mm Bolts holding the A Arm inplace (inside engine bay...NOT the nuts! Passenger side you have to move the battery)

-Then place a deep socket 17mm Wrench and remove the castle bolt holding it in place

-Remove A Arm

-Install new arms...put codder pin in similar to how it was stock (or not...doesnt really matter)

Alright that sound easy enough... Can you access all the A arm bolts from inside the engine bay?

thanks

hahaha oh man, very vague description... assuming your kit is similar to the skunk2 kit...

Unbolt the anchor bolts from the subframe ( i believe its called, inside the engine bay, 17mm )

Remove the cotter pin, ball joint nut and use a ball joint splitter to carefully pop the ball joint out. (or use a hammer and hit the arm until it shakes loose)

Move the arm out of the way and lower the upper control arm down still connected to the anchor.

Without removing the shock unbolt the anchor from the upper control arm.

Pull out the old arm and then bolt the new upper control arm (camber kit) to the anchor bolts. (NOTE: you will note be able to remove the anchor from the upper control arm without enough room to slide the bolts out of the anchor bushings, thus sliding it down where there's room to work with it is necessary)

Slide the new control arm, bolted to the anchors back up.

Slide the bolts on top of the anchor back into the engine bay and hand tighten those nuts to hold it up there.

Bolt the arm back up to the control arm and dont forget a new cotter pin

Torque everything back up/down, greese the ball joints and you should be good.

If i have forgotten anything back me up or ask, i rushed through this
good luck

oh, and like many said in that thread above, I would recommend swapping in stainless hex bolts over allen wrench styles

insomniac791

On the one he has got the I can't get the bolts to line back up that go through from inside the engine compartment. the new A-Arm that goes up into it is alot larger than stock. Can i dent the inside of the fender to make it fit?

Am I makeing any sense?
