Default Skunk2 camber kit installation

Yep, I did a search but got nothing.

How easy is it to put it a skunk2 camber kit. Any pointers or websites that I could look at for a guide?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

You may have to remove some "junk" in the engine bay to gain access to the bolts... I think the battery and the cruise control/power steering stuff is in the way.

ok i know this topic is a little, but i didn't feel like starting a new one. anyway, to the topic...

i flipped through this thread as well as others and found this website...
http://www.geocities.com/lx98c....html

i noticed that when he installed the kit, they used a tie-rod puller to seperate the ball joints. now my question is when you put everything back together with the kit installed, are there any special tools needed (i.e. balljoint press)? or can you just slide the 2 pieces together and tighten without the tool? please help.

thanks

i got a front kit for my 95 EJ, and I have no complaints with the kit. Its perfect to use for those who have a slammed ride or just a slight drop...overall it gets a from me...and you can find some pretty good deals on the internet, like under $200 for the item and shipping (usually free shipping)....just to give you a heads-up...good luck...
