Yes... and you unbolt the old ones and bolt the new ones in. Two bolts.

That sounds right to me.

just unbolt the old stuff, and bolt up the new. then either align it yourself, or take it to a shop. start with factory specs, then dial in whatever camber/caster you want.

take pictures too, that stuff looks nice installed.

Seems accurate to me but as always, use generic suspension parts at the risk of your own and others' lives.

lol. Hes still at 0 posts.

Anyways, Im basically guiney piggin this one cause IDK whats really good and whats not. I inspected all the parts and welds look soldid and other stuff looks solid. I guess well see how these things work though. Im using it on a track car so if something brakes it will most likely be contained so only my stupid *** gets hurt.

BTW, I was just making sure Ive got everything figured out.

Camber arms, and tension rods are completly obvios, so are the rear toe arms.

Im just still alittle confused on the Track rods.

I'm just consistently amazed the effects of a message board on some people. It's like water, except instead of making you wet, it makes you retarded.

you've got all the parts named right. the track rods are easy to do, but you will need your alignment re done unless you get measure them up perfectly. heres a link that kinda shows them if you are confused on were they go.

chris (d!ck), dont act like its only been two years...i'd put twenty bucks on that if i could find your second grade teacher, he/she would re-affirm my suspicions that you started out retarded.

its a very easy one. thats the good part of suspension, it can really only go back in one way. just make sure not to loose hardware,
