    Raised rear subframe but cant access trailing arm bolts

    I installed the AKG rear subframe bushings that raise it into the chassis 12mm. I've noticed that both rear trailing arm bolts (I welded the eccentric adjusters) are going to be a huge pain to access while doing alignments.

    Anybody have a clever solution? I was going to cut out the wheel well a bit and probably make an open end wrench with a bent handle to access the bolt for adjustment. Its a very tight fit regardless

    That's just part of the joy. Shave down a wrench and come in from the front side of the subframe. Assuming you've already trimmed the subframe mount a bit.

      Also had this issue. Moved the bolts to the outside and nuts on the inside so i could adjust them.

      Left hand side was easy enough to get to still, but i needed to cut up a spanner for the right hand side so i could adjust the right hand side.
