Re: how to remove and install camber kits
This was actually one of the easier things Ive done on my car.
Once you get the wheel off and have the car jacked up take the nut off the upper ball joint. Next go under the hood and undo the two nuts that hold the bushings in the shock tower. After that I found the easiest way to seperate the ball joint is to take a 20lb sledge hammer and HOLD it against one side of the ball joint and hit the other side with a hammer. This will direct the force of the hammer upward through the tapper and cause the ball joint to pop out. After that you should be able to get wrenches on the bolts through the bushings and undo them. Once that is done put it back together and go straight to the alignment shop and get it dialed in. This literally took me 30 minutes per side and my car had seen some salty IL winters before I got it so I had some nice rusty bolts to contend with. If you do I recomend PB blaster. Hope this helps.
