alright so i finaly bought the spc balljoint style camber correction kit. it looks like it can take a beating. anyways i just need to know the whole process of removing and installing the kit how long did it take u. need to know wether im gonna need a whole day or if i can get it done in a couple of hours. is it a pain in the *** to remove the old balljoints. am i gonna need a press or just a big hammer. do i need to press in my new balljoints. a quik review would be nice

 

a press is essential, i had nothing but horrible headache without one. consider it a whole day (if not more) job if you have not done it yourself.

consider having a shop do it that can install them and do an alignment inhouse. saves you from buying a press ... which is the correct way to install it ... and your going to want an alignment after the install anyways...

i thought on the matter is why go through the headaches... when i can spend a $100+ and not have any headaches at all.

good luck if you want to DIY, but its more trouble if you don't have the right tools for the job.

Would a period make you happy ?

cause you seem to be on one....

 

You have to press them in, but it's not going to take you more than two hours. Remove the upper a arms and brush them clean with a wire brush. The surface for the camber kit has to be perfect. Press them in very hard. I had one loose and the alignment would change over potholes. That's the problem with this style of kit. Also, buy the right size and angle of wrench so you can tighten the crap out of that bolt. You have to reach way up in your wheel well. The hardest part is getting the kit straight so that you don't change the caster. Perfectly straight and perfectly even side to side.

I would take the kit and the upper a arms to a machine shop and have them pressed then welded on. If mine ever slip again, that's what I'm going to do.
