1st pic: cant go wrong with a little loctite
2nd: used a flat head help get the arm in there.
3rd & 4th: Depending on your suspension set up the control arm bolt might be a little tough to get in the holes. Mine's when in with just a little wiggle.
5th: how it looks with the arm installed.

1st pic: Caster adjustment; I left this at zero, need the shop to help with this..
2nd: How it looks when caster adjustment plate is moved to a different position.
3rd & 4th: Camber adjustment; nut has been removed for clarity, bolt slides back and fourth for camber adjustment.
hope this helps.

So u don't need to remove the coilover then correct? Looking for something to correct camber.. i need two new front tires.. Tires have very low miles but the inner tread is completely worn on drivers side but not as bad on passenger side..
did your shop adjust these?

Yes I've been having the same issue with tire wear hopefully after I get these adjusted along with an alignment it will illiminate my tire issues.
Haven't gotten them adjusted yet, got some other issues I have to fix before I can drive again.

Even with the bag deflated not enough room? I can confirm taking them out with stock spring/shock, and a few different coilover types. I'm the only idiot around with Nagisa arms which use a threaded rod end adjustment so they come out quite a bit. Air soon so hopefully I can work around it.
Edit- Those of you on beefier springs might try getting away with unbolting the shock top hats to let the suspension sag a bit. That way you can pull the bolt through the coil.
