    kmac camber kit question

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey does anyone have any instructions or any general memmories of installing this kit. The tool pressed my bushings out no problem. The tool kept cocking and flaring itself when trying to press them in. I cant seem to keep them straight when pressing them in since they always cock. Also should I be greasing or anything the sleeves before pressing them in? How hard is the adjustment and would it help if I instaleld it in a specific orientation to minimize movement as well as caster change?

    ha you said cock!

    yea i did mine and they were a pain to do. they wanted to go in crooked also. i landed up using a large socket to press them in, eventually they went in straight. Adjusting them in the car is a PITA, it is very hard to get to the adjustment bolts/nuts. The alignment shop was completely confused how to adjust the darn thing. I had to go out in their shop and guide them through the process, they didnt have the correct tools to even get the the adjusters. You need a very thin 17mm box wrench iirc. After they got it adjusted my readings were back to normal and the car has been driving great, no sign of tire wear either after 10k so far. I forgot how the positions were when i installed them but they were way off!
