i don't know anything about these things... but looking at the picture posted above, i can't see how these things could be installed the wrong way to begin with. additionally, are there no paper instructions or set guide-lines that come with the camber kit?? if there is a remote possibility of them being confused in orientation for installation.. kinetix should be supplying some documentation for installation awareness.
seriously though... looking at the above pic.. these things look very flimsy. just like the terrible welds found on their high flow cats.

WTF..... JEEEEEZE Kinetix.... You could easily fix this by stamping a (Right) and (Left) with also a (Top) and (Bottom) on each frickn arm so your customers do not kill themselves using these products...
Would be a fairly simple fix I would think.... Or heck what about using stickers to identify which side is up?

wrong installation
From the look of the pictures. You have install it wrong. The grease fitting should *face down*. If you look at the pic carefully you will see that the outter part of the arm where is should point down is now pointing up and is rubbing the controll arm ( I can see it in the pics ) if you hit a bump or your car is hella low like mine with sportline. This happened to me at first install by looking at those pics with the greasing pointing up. I was test drove it but everytime i turn left or right or up my drive way i could hear and feel it on the stearing wheel . So I took the wheel out and look at the arms. Sure enough there is some wear on the very top of my controll arm from rubbing with the a arm. So I flip it left to right and everything is find but the damage is done. There is some bend on the a arm by the controll arm pushing up on it. To sum it all up . Kinetix should have some marking L,R,Top,Bottom....And the DIY pics is wrong the one install by Dealer
