Hey all,

Been looking around but can't see anything clear enough.

Recently got some rear adjustable camber brackets and wanting to install.

I've read loads of threads about issues with the nuts lining up but no clear guide on fitting.

Can anyone assist? Pictures would be brilliant but not essential.


Much ta

just fit them.

 

they should fit. if they don't then they are not fit for purpose.

Hi Matt, also interested to hear about this as I have a pair on their way. Which ones did you go for? It looks pretty simple, but I've already started spraying the bolts with Plus Gas!

They're pretty intuitive really:

- Jack car up, support on axle stands and remove rear road wheels;

- Remove big nut from end of radius arm shaft;

- Remove 4 set screws holding old radius arm bracket to subframe;

- Replace old bracket with new and reassemble as a reverse of above.

 

Things to be aware of:

- Before starting to remove the anything, but after car is jacked up, measure the location of the grease nipple in the end of the radius arm shaft from two datums - horizontal and vertical (floor and a known point on the sill).  This will allow you to get the settings close to where they were until you can get them set accurately.

- May be wise to support the weight of the radius arm on a jack (at the front end of arm).

- If radius arms starts to slide of the shaft ensure the inner thrust washer and seal go back correctly and that the seal doesn't get trapped.

Thanks for that mate, will give it a go one evening.

I got them thrown in a job lot from a member on here but they look to be minispares ones. Not looking for serious camber, something subtle.
