Default Installing Rear Camber Kit

Going to be installing the Ingalls rear camber kit. Is there anything to it or is it pretty straight forward? I've never done it before and some instructions would be nice...

There's 3 bolts on the upper camber link. Just use some PB blaster and a breaker bar.

I just used a regular ratchet, you must have t-rex arms or something.

It's no difficult task.

Flux,

Install the (2) 14mm bolts onto the chassis first, THEN work the last 14mm bolt onto the trailing arm. Ive seen some jackasses try to install it the other way around and end of stripping the holes in the car!!!

Here is a picture to help you.

Damn, are they 12? I havent worked on my car in while to even be sure. Oh well, we know what we are all talking about.

The reason why you would want to do those bolts first is because if you tighten the 14 first (Im VERY sure its 14). You are fighting the weight of the trailing arm and trying to line up the hole with the bolt. Not all the time is the camber kit/UCA going to be TOTALLY in line. Alot of people then, therefore think its straight and end up cross threading the bolt.

Guilty as charged. Mine is basically cross threaded and screwed as tight in as possible. It sure isn't going anywhere, but kinda sucks that i did that. I was so ******* stupid that day.

Not to sure what i can do now other than deal w/ it. I don't want to try to take it out again.
