Default Please help, trying to install rear camber arm

Hi, I bought these camber arms off ebay and am trying to install them, but i am having trouble removing the bolt as seen in the picture below. I can't get the bolt out, it keeps hitting something.

How do i take these out properly and install the new ones properly? Any advice is much appreciated.

1. Remove tire with power tool.
2. Set jack under rear lower link (the thing your rear springs sit on).
3. Remove fixing nut and bolt between front lower link and rear suspension member with power tool (i think this is the nut you are having trouble getting out?).
4. Remove fixing nut and bolt between front lower link and axle with power tool.
5. Remove front lower link from vehicle.

that's all i have from the manual, mind you it is for a g35, but thought i'd try to help until someone else with experience steps in.

good luck

i'm hoping by jacking up the rear lower link you will lower the front lower link enough to get you clearance.

based on the service manual, you should not have to remove it

IM me if you need additional info

*EDITED for content*

i have the service manual for the G35, but most should apply to the 350z as well

i'll be here for anothe hour

Okay, i am downloading yahoo messenger.

They were $125.00 for both of them i think. I tried to place another jack under the plate that has the big rear spring in it and jacked it up but it the bolt is still hitting the sway bar. I don't see how i can get the bolt out without removing the sway bar.

?????

hmm...looking at that pic...

can you just remove the stabilizer clamp to give you the extra 1/2" you need to remove that bolt?

+1. It looks like you should just be able to remove that sway bar bracket that the bolt appears to be hitting. You shouldn't need to remove the whole sway bar, just that one bracket that's causing the trouble. Good luck!

i had to remove mine. prolly the amount of time to post again and read responces you could of had it done, lol. good luck, it really is a ***** to get the alignment close to even make it to the alignment shop, very touchy on the toe when you correct the camber and vice versa.
