    Wrench for adjusting IE rear camber and toe kit?

    Hey how do you guys get to the outer nut on IE's kit? have you guys been able to find any special wrenches that can do the job?

    19mm open end wrench works for me. you might have to grind on it a bit for clearance YMMV.

      I've read that sometimes there are clearance issues when that kit is installed. Are floor modifications necessary?

      I would love to see an under car picture of this kit installed. I have the kit, just need to get it welded to my subframe and install the shit.

            what subframe bushings do you have? you may need to trim some of the lip on the bushing to get in there a little easier, I ground my wrench down as well.

              Yeah, pictures would be nice, it would be great to see why you would need floor clearance.

                this man speaks the truth! My alignment shop told me it was actually really easy to access on their rack. I installed all the parts, set them close to stock, had the alignment shop adjust for me.

                  Here's mine that I just completed:



                  Grinding down an el-cheapo wrench doesn't sound like a bad idea actually. I haven't gotten it aligned yet only because I haven't gotten the front done yet. I know the left side toe is way in though.

                    I'm looking at something like this (rear kit). I've got a serious rear camber/toe issue, I believe. My tires are a few months old, and already showing heavy inner wear. Same with my fronts (no camber plates yet). the alignment shop told me the toe was fine, but I'm not 100% agreeable with that, as the fronts are wearing heavy on the inners tread lugs, too.
                    I don't track the car, but I do drive (commute) in it about 130mi/day, so tire wear is crucial to me..


                    As for grinding down wrenches to fit/work, I've got a whole drawer full of those, from over the years of different cars LOL I buy an AutoZone wrench, grind it thinner to fit in tight spaces, then throw it in a drawer when Im finished using it.. It's hilarious to see all the tools I've modded over the years..

                    In the respect of TABs, I've noticed that if I hold the car straight down the road, at say, 40, in 4th gear, then let off the throttle, the car vears to one side a little. Back on the gas, and it goes back the other way. Is this TABs worn out, or SBs?

                      I just got this thread, have the following question:
                      Cant figured out which side its the picture, but I was told the wider outer rubber goes always closer to the diff, and so goes the head of the bolt???? And so its shown on a diagram from the mountings vendor (I bought a brand Lemforder for those, and brand Meyle for the bigger ones on the TA`s support brace)
                      Thanks

                        I read somewhere that someone made trap door in the floor of their car by hacking a section out of a parts car, then made with the whole gasket thingie on the panel, then a smaller hole in the car.

                        And just because I don't have the words right now does not mean I cannot do it, dammit!
