Default Camber kit Trouble?

I can't get that upper control arm off, The bolt won't come out of the hole. How do you get it out? Withsome kind of press? By the way its on a 94 Sol and the camber kit is TSUDO

perhaps you should change your sig then...on another note it should just come out...you back out the bolts on both sides from inside the engine bay just like any other bolt.

Probably because you have massive toe-out.

Post your alignment print-out.

they make tools to pop ball joints, but if you don't have acces to one you're probably going to have to resort to hammering it loose.

If you'r e just talking about removing it from the damper fork, then tap it with a hammer. Mine took a little convincing, but overall, it wasn't difficult. there are only two other bolts on the entire A-arm, so i'm sure you can figure it out

yeah i've had those out plenty of times, It made it easier putting the strut back on, Aight well When i go to attempt to put them on again ill try beating that botl a lil.


And yes i'll change my sig when i put my camber kit on lol. I just cant afford to pay 400$ for tires every year.
