most poly bushing kits you take the bushing itself and install it in the control arm. then you take the metal pin/tube and press it into the bushing. dont forget to grease it all. its pretty straight forward. reassemble it and take it in for an alignment.

I had a shop in Houston install the Daizen kit and and realign my car for $200. I'm sure it could have been installed myself (I don't have the tools and didn't want to spend the time to do it myself). Plus, I would have had to take it to a shop to have it realigned anyways, so just had them do it all at once.

I went to a shop last weekend.... Dude wanted 350 to install my "REAR" Daizen kit.... I said "F" it, laughed at him, brought it back home....... and done the job myself. Well actually the only thing I didn't want to do was burn the old bushings off... So I got those pressed out and the new stuff pressed in for cheap....


If you are skinny and have small hands getting the UCA is a piece of cake, but if you are big and fat like myself and cursed with BIG OLE' PAWS this job is a PITA!!

Also I didn't use a Pickle Fork or a Pitman Puller.... Just a 5lb mallet and struck the nuckle about 200 times... LOL

Pics coming soon...

But yes it a DIY job....

actually i took it to a local machine shop and they charge me $60 for both sides which is a decent price..but i had to take the uca to them not the whole car...

It took forever for mine to ship, but the guy that runs it is incredibly busy. You will get your product, don't worry. As far as the installation, if you are at least familiar with a little suspension wrenching, you can do this yourself. I will tell you this, a torch is a very handy tool when removing the old bushings. And make sure you clean the CA up really nice before reassembling. Pep boys pressed the new sleeves in for me for like $20. Use lots of the lube they send too. Very straight forward.

I know im bringing up an old thread but what exactly does the camber kit consist of?

kyoso23

New bushings, collars, nuts/bolts/washers, lube, instructions

farquad

so what does it do? does it help to align the car after you lower it which causes negative camber?

boobstar

I'm assuming the bushings are "offset"?

It allows for more positive camber adjustment, however if your are getting horrible tire wear, and you have less than 2 degrees of negative camber, your tire wear is coming from incorrect toe.
