i know i need to get cambers adjusted by les schwab or someone and i plan on getting my car aligned anyhow... i jus donno how hard it is to take out ball joint and what not... should i attempt? if so are there any detailed instructions out there?
thanks

 

IF you are talking a bout the front of a 5th gen-my advice is to have a pro do it. That way the alignment can be done at the same time. I have Psecialty Products #67135 on the front of my car.
The rear of a 5th gen does not require replacing the ball joints. I use Ingalls #3571 and #3573-you will have to determine how far out you are before buying these. Specialty Products also has kits for the rear. This one can be a DIY deal if you have the time, patience and wrenches to get in there. Both companies literature/catalogs say it should take about .8 hours per corner to do the install.

Happy luding

 

k thanks.. yeah i have 2 sets of the ingalls i forget for my 4th gen...

 

if you have to ask, then it'll probably be too difficult for your skill level

 

ive done the simple mods myself... like lower, new struts, bolt ons etc. i put the back camber kits on but just donno how to get the ball joint out. i acquired myself a ball joint separator the other day but havent had time to try it out.

 

Man if your not sure how to do it you really should just take it to a professional im sure its not hard but still you dont want to risk messing anything up.

 

true.. aight how much do you think professional install and alignment/camber adjustment would run me? les schwab maybe?

 

What is les schwab?

 

install it your self at your house then drive it to an alignment shop right after. dont drive with it out of alignment or u will mess up your tires... 30 miles or so willnt hurt though. on the 4th gen its easy..

 

Yeah thats also a good idea, if a professional installed it they shouldnt charge that much i would say easily under 40$ but like he said you could put it on yourself and then just take it to the alignment shop.
