Rear camber kit install gone wrong?
Well i just had the shop do my rear camber kit install and now the back of my car is higher than it was before i brought it there and the front is lower. I called and they said the ride height was not touched at all. can somoene please post up a picture of what the Rear camber arms should look like installed ( just a quick shot from the back/under so i can see which way they are supposed to be installed.), i kind of have a feeling they were put in upside down =/ any help/fast help is greatly appreciated. Thanks alot guys. heres a pic of mine installed

i noticed so far that the silver washers provided with the kit should be on the inside of the control arm not on the outside...now i wonder if the camber arms are upside down

I don't think the camber arms are installed wrong...possibly the rear springs are not seated correctly..thus causing the ride hidth difference.
Ask the the install shop if for some reason the the entire rear swing arm was lowered enough for the rear springs to shift around..

yes they did do an alignment after the install but the height difference is very significant, the car handles like garbage now. should i check to see if the springs seated, i mean i have fully adjustable coil overs i didnt notice ne thing different when looking at them just now

got the read out...actually just got back from the shop, they are taking care of the toe bolts, everything was 100% in spec besides the front...which i will eventually need a camber kit for but i just dont have the money right now. the camber was so out of whack to begin with that when put back into spec it did in fact raise the ride height. At any rate they are going to fix it all tomorrow and get me back on the road. next stop is my adjustable swaybar endlinks and front camber kit

This thread is a freakin mess. You can't see the toe bolt in the pic he posted. What you see is the camber bolt. It doesn't matter where it is set as long as camber on both sides matches when the alignment is done. The arms were nto pu in upside down.
