Ive been reading the tech for an hour or so but How the hell are u supposed to adjust the rods if you have to remove them? Wouldnt that make it impossible to re install? And it sounds like a crap shoot as to how much you need to go before you put them back in. Can someone give me a step by step best way to doing this? Im sorry but Im pretty frustrated here. Ive done a tone of searches on camber and nothing is really coming up.
 
I agree its hard to adjust when they put the hiem joint on the inside and up in the bellypan removing that bolt sucks, must be a better way then I did it?
 
Never done it, but could you measure it, adjust it a given number of turns, recheck it and that would tell how much more you need to go?
 
No I am guessing that the only way is to take off the entire arms to adjust.Did. it last summer.Was a pain in the a44.Never touching it again
Very difficult to get them insude nuts.A lot of patience and %$&%$#$ words.
 
just do the adjustment with the lower rod. you will need to unbolt it from the trailing arm, break the nut loose then turn the rod in or out as needed. then bolt back up, check camber, then tighten back up when done. if your front end is tight, this is only nessisary once.
 
I used a pipe clap long enough to reach to the outside of both skis or bottom of the trailing arms. Once you remove the rod the ski wants to move out on you. This keeps it still and you can tighten it up till your camber is right and install the rod easily.

Glad I wasnt the only one feeling this. Betheviper, this is exactly the way I did it but only because I was too lazy to take the top rod out. Plus, even if you did it would be almost impossible to guess exactly how many turns it will take before perfect. Using only the bottom rod for adjustment worked just fine but the only downside is Ive almost run of threads to adjust so Ill need toeventually take the top one out I guess. THanks for the input guys!
