Rear Camber Arm installation

[Dr.Drew]

Anything special I should know before I do my rear camber arm. I am reparing a bent factory one, and replacing it with a new factory one.

I will post a walkthrough when I do the job tommorow
I looked at speedybnz website about installing his arms but there are no Ft lbs specs

you would have to drop the car from a 3 story building to bend the rear camber arms. are you sure its not the trailing arm thats bent, cuz those are the weaker ones on the rear suspension. also if you bent the arms, you most likely snapped the sway bar end links, so inspect those as well.

well the camber was out on my aligment sheet they wanted to put some bolt kit in I said no. In the winter the first year I had the car I was at school in the parking lot drifting around and drifted into a curb and broke a 7 inch chunk out of one of my amg rims in the rear, I just assumed that if the camber was out the camber arm would be the part to replace

the subframe,and any parts of the suspension attached to it may be bent too....
I can take a measurement of my old camber arms tonight so you can compare if you like...before you purchase a new one;)

the new one only cost me $20 but its indentical to the one in the car they bolt side buy side so the camber arm is not bent in my books, what else could be the culperate

what are factory torque specs ?

[jnenad16]

if your camber is out of specs, then the next thing would be the lower control arm. does it look bent? to check, remove the plastic cover and inspect. are the bushings good? also inspect the all the arms on the rear suspension. the one I see bent constantly is the toe arm(looks like a tie rod on one end and a bushing on the other).
