Who else is running these? I just went to do an alignment on mine last night (I work at a dealer, we have a really nice alignment machine), but the TOE adjuster Eccentrics are set up so that the NUT is on the subframe bushing side, and the only tool you can get on the NUTS is an 18mm OPEN END WRENCH, due to having barely any room.
I remember something about this when I put the kit in, but cant remember exactly WHY I installed them this way.. It looks like the complete subframe and trailing arms would have to be out on the floor if you wanted to assemble the bolts from the other direction, but Im still not even sure if they would slide in from that direction (the subframe bushing area might be in the way of the eccentric bolt.)
Either way, this setup sucks because the nut is corroded to the bolt, an open end wrench slips (I tried 4 different wrenches, a snap on flank drive included).. and Even if it didnt slip, theres hardly any room to get a turn on the nuts (the other side DID turn, but its almost a nightmare trying to position the wrench in there to turn the bastard.
and I dont want to use a torch to heat it.. Im gonna either melt my urethane bushings, or light my gas tank on fire
