Default Lower Control A-arm
Hey Sleepwalker, I just got my replacement eccentric camber bolts. It calls for removal/reinstall of the control A-arm. Do you have any diagrams/procedures to do this? Thanks

Thanks Al! I'll see if I can avoid removing the control arm but I have to replace the rubber bushes as well.

Thanks again. If I take it to the dealer, how many hours work do you think this is?
