Default Rear Adjustable Camber Arms installation

Has anyone installed the rear adjustable camber arms that Backdraft is selling? If so, any advice? Looks like tight quarters in there, esp. if I have to unbolt and move the diff about 1" aft to get the inner arm bolts out...

Thanks

Bill

I installed them in January... It is a royal pain in the rear, but if you are somewhat mechanically inclined you can do it. It isn't hard just a pain in the rear to get the bolts back in while jockeying the diff around.

1. Place car on jack stands
2. Remove rear wheels
3. Place rear wheels under car frame as extra safety measure
4. Remove outboard stock camber arm bolts
5. Remove 4 bolts holding rear swaybar in place
6. Remove 3 bolts holding diff in place
7. Remove inboard stock camber arm bolts
8. Fight with rear diff to get the inboard bolts re-installed with the adjustable camber arms in place.
9. Install all you removed in reverse order
10. Get car aligned

Kevin.....
