Question 1/2 kMac install

how easy is the 1/2 kMac install in the back? I'm getting ready to do my coilovers, and I don't want to have to pay someone else. should I have an alignment shop do it since it's gonna need to be tweaked once it's dropped?

you SHOULD get an alignment, but you don't HAVE to. I aligned my rear with a large square, and a good eye.

kmac install is easy, only basic tools needed, although an impact gun is nice for getting bolts broke loose.

remember, kmac bushings go on the inboard side, not out by the wheels. Can be installed on the lower arm too, to make it a little easier to get to.

don't believe i have any, not intentionally taken anyway. Its easy as hell, pop the bushing out of the inboard side of the control arm, grease and insert kmac bushing, reinstall control arm.
