  1. Nah, sorry mate don't have any pics of how she looks at the moment.

    This post might give some more info: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Re...87#entry3780787

    According to that you need 2 kits. Fitting the 2nd kit might be a bit more work as I think you have to remove the hub. Although if you fit both inner and outer bushes at the same time you might save a bit on pressing/alignment costs.

    In the end it's up to you, as you said 1 kit might get you close enough and would be cheaper and easier.

  2. Yeah, I used whiteline. Part number is KCA347

    SuperPro, Pedders and UAS make simllar bushes, so you don't have to use whiteline. Try shopping around for the best price.

    Again, how much has your car been lowered? My car was 340mm wheel to guard (30mm lower than standard) at the rear and one camber kit got me from -1.5 to -0.5.

    More than +/-0.75, but my old bushes were stuffed.

    Btw, you replace the inner traction rod bushes on each side as well as th UCA's. So in total the kit comes with 4 bushes.

  3. The whiteline rear camber bushes gives +/- 0.75 deg of adjustment which should be enough unless your car is real low.

    With these bushes you replace the inside bush of the control arm on each side, If you need more adjustment you can buy another kit and relace the outer bushes. (which givea total of +/- 1.5 deg)

    Dunno about DIY, you could have a go at cutting the old bushes out. From memory there is a metal collar in the bush. I just took my control arms to pedders and got them to remove the old one and press the new one in. Didn't cost much, $30 i think...

  4. Getting it sorted for roughly 300, 160 for bushes plus labour and another thing getting fixed included. lol mechanic showed me everything and explained bout the bushes. haha now I feel like a real idiot asking if new coilovers would fix it. Good to learn new things!

    Cheers for the help!

    No worries mate, seems like a fair price as well.

    uhm

    what exactly are the tension rod bushes leaking? =O

    They are silicon filled, when they get old and start cracking the silicon starts to leak out.
