6. Using (2) 21mm wrenches, remove the inner
bolt. (Image 5 on next page)
7. Remove OE control arm. NOTE: while it is
possible to remove the control arm at this
point, it is somewhat easier to loosen the (4)
upper shock mounts. This allows the shock
tension to be released and the control arm
comes out much easier.
8. Install the BMR control arm and insert all of the appropriate bolts but do not tighten yet.
9. Load the rear suspension by lowering the car
onto ramps or something similar that will allow
access to the control arm mounting bolts when
the suspension is loaded.
10. Sighting the wheel/tire, adjust the inner control
arm bolt until the wheel/tire is as vertical as
possible. Use the OE eccentric bolt for this
adjustment.
11. Once the adjustments have been made, tighten
the outer control arm bolt to 80 ft/lbs. Tighten
the shock cross-bolt to 125 ft/lbs. Tighten the
inner bolt to 95 ft/lbs.
12. Using a high-quality rod-end style end link
such as shown in the image above, insert the supplied bolt, nut and washer then tighten the sway bar end
link.
13. Lower vehicle.
14. Take the car to a reputable alignment shop for a 4 wheel alignment.
