Camber Kit Instructions

Here we go...

In your kit you should have the following:

Two (2) Camber Rods

Four (4) Rod Ends
- Two (2) Lefts
- Two (2) Rights

Four (4) Lock Nuts
- Two (2) Lefts
- Two (2) Rights

Eight (8) Spacers

Its all pretty straight forward once you get the parts out. You should also adjust them out to about 13 inches from end to end.

Here is a picture of a Camber Arm in parts:

Very nice indeed! Can't wait to get 'em.

Is there an approximate time frame for install you could give us?

Are there any other key components we should loosen/take off in order to make the install easier?

The installer may also need to relieve some of the tension on the rear spring by jacking up the wheel.

2 SETS REMAINING

I still have two (2) sets from the intial run of rear camber arms available. I contacted those members that originally signed up but have not gotten confirmation that they still want the items.

So they are back up for grabs!!
