He said no need to do anything with the rear for camber correction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they easy to do yourself? Do you just release the bottom of the shock and lower the control arm like they do in the Commodores (sorry I had to use that reference!) I'm just curious, because I've come from Holdens all my life... and now I have turned, to the better side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undo bottom of shock, undo sway bar and undo control arm at the hub and it'll drop out. Then I put the new spring in and use a trolley jack to jack it back up and put it back togetherAs J@ said, about half an hours work for the rears. I think first time around took me 3hours front and rear and like 1.5-2hours second time around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
