Default Camber Kit Install Help??

Hey guys,

Been searching and checked out the MR website and couldn't find anything..

Looking for a How to / DIY / walkthrough on installing the Megan Rear Camber kit. I know install looks stright foward.. but these arms are adjustable on both sides... which adjustable side do i leave flush and which side do you reccomend to adjust.

Also.. i'm already lowered on BCR Coils.. once i get the camber kit installed i plan on lowering/working on the fitment with some new wheels (R:19"x10.5 +22).. Question; do i go get a alignment with the stock wheels on to have the shop camber set to 0deg and go from there with the new wheels... or just slapp on the new rear wheels and work on the fitment/more lowering and figure out camber for perfect fitment... then go get an alignement.

Thanks in advance

rent the ball joint seperator from autozone (13 bucks) and you get your money back when you return it... place the fork between the ball joint and arm... then hammer the end of the tool and the ball joint will pop out.. I also put the nut from the megan ball joint on the end of the stock ball joint and lightly hammered the end... becareful if you do this because you dont want to ruin the threads of the ball joint and not be able to take the nut back out to remove the whole arm. but if you plan on throwing away the arm.. go ahead and hammer the end without a nut on.. do not reuse the megan nut, reuse the stock nut when installing..

http://www.autozone.com/autozone/acc...uestid=1954972

keep both ends flush on the megan bar.. then when you adjust it.. just loosen the nuts on both ends and turn the bar.. it will evenly push out from both ends so you dont get too much stress on one particular end.. hope that makes sense..
