Rear Camber arms

Im about to change out the rear camber arms and my question is if do I have to lift the car and have the wheels in mid air or can I just back up the car on some ramps I have? May sound like a stupid question but I dont wanna jack it up beacuse its a bitch. The car is to low to slide a jack and especially jack stands.

I have the Ichiba rear cambers and it came with that toe bolt. Do I have to enlarge that hole like the SPC?

Drive up on some thin boards then jack it up

Didnt have to enlarge any holes. I bought a new kit and it didnt have instructions

I just got done installing mine... but the RR doesnt seem right. Its like its toed in way too far. I took it for a ride and its like when I turn back and forth the rear of the car has slop in it.

Anyone else have this kit and have troubles?

sorry wrong. the spc kit and the ichiba kit are identical except the ichiba is red powder coat and the spc is black.

Yes you need to elongate the toe bolt holes. It's not optional. If you don't they don't work and you won't get into spec on the toe. It's an easy dremel job on a non ras car, a little harder on an ras car. non ras it's grinding aluminum. ras it's steel. same procedure, different bits to cut it.

Guess they should send some instructions with their product then.....

To me enlarging and elongating are 2 different things

Are they pretty easy to get at? Im gonna be doing it at the after work today so Ill be using a die grinder. A Dremel is pretty much the same size as the die grinders we have at work.

easy to get at just make sure you put them in the right place. The arms usually come with the toe bolts stuck in the end of them. They don't go there. They don't go on the camber arms at all, they go end of the spring buckets.

Just what I needed. THANKS!

Now why dont they put something like that in the box with the arms?

I bought the kit brand new and it had nothing as far as instructions.
