Does anyone have a DIY for replacing the rear camber arms? I've got rear toe arms and rear camber arms coming in on Monday and was thinking about changing them out myself. I know the rear toes you just have to remove those M12 bolts and bam you're good but what about the camber arms? I can't seem to find any pictures or any DIY on it.

Is the same procedure. You just remove the bolts.

But why are you replacing the lower control arm?

It's only the upper arm actually plus the rear toe arms.

Camber arm's the big mama yer shocks 'n' springs're mounted on.

There is no other arm to adjust camber....

Regardless, ain't rocket science for any suspension arm: Unbolt & remove; reverse procedure w/new arm. Naturally you'll want to support the wheel and if necessary loosen other arm bolts/nuts so the suspension can move around if you're having trouble fitting the new arm in. And we always work with a calibrated torque wrench....yes.

But there is one thing to know: If you're R&R'g the camber arm you need to support it with a floor jack coming out & going in. Why? 'Cause the spring's compressed by the camber arm. If that doesn't make sense, time to back way, way up and re-evaluate until it's fully understood what's involved!

And: You'll need an alignment when done. Unless....you live for danger!

There are aftermarket pieces that replace the upper control arm and rear toe arm for greater camber and toe adjustment, which is what the OP is talking about.

But yes, stock camber adjustment is only via the lower control arm.

Yup, two bolts and you're done.
