    Hi Folks...

    I'm pretty handy but I'm no mechanic. Got a 2nd hand pair of camber plates.....are they pretty straight forward to install?

    Cheers.

    nah you need a rattle gun to free the big nut that connects to the shock shaft
    using a socket and wrench will just spin the whole thing

    Keep the car on the ground when you undo the nut, if it does turn just hold the top plate with your hand. The shock shaft cannot turn.
