Question, car is at shop and awaiting my answer.

Went to install rear lower arm bushings with adjustable accentric bushings, which is the KMac camber kit.


Kmac said only have to remove and replace bushings.

Indy mechanic said have to remove middle member which entails removing shocks and springs.

Car is at shop.

Who is right. 300CD.

Pretty easy for Kmac to tell you that the only thing that must be removed and replaced is the bushings since whatever you do, you bought new bushings which require removing and replacing the old ones.

Kind of like me asking- "how do you boil water?" and them responding by saying "well, first, you have to boil some water"

The shocks and springs have to come out because they have to remove the lower control arm.

Charmalu, Dropnosky, Dannym

Ok, went to the Indy and got a good look at it on the rack. He tries to show me whats up, but I already knew from your help.

Thanks. This forum makes life easier.
