loosen the nut and adjust the kit to a desired length and then put the nut back on tightly.

which nut is it exactly??

So would it be that bolt? sorry I reformatted my laptop, so all i got is paint, well they said to comeback Monday, because they were super busy, so I am trying to get this squared away before Monday comes. So your saying you can loosen that bolt, and just adjust it from there?

before Anyone flames...this is my opinion...

The Skunk 2 rear arm is a POS...looks pretty. I've had mine for about a year, and adjusting it was almost impossible...well the adjustment process is just retarded.
install, get baseline reading, remove wheel, remove bolt to hub, loosen nut, adjust, put back together, and get another baseline...if you are lucky, you only have to do this 2-3 times...which in shop talk is $$
Also, if you are lucky your bushings won't go bad. I've been trying to get in touch with Skunk2 for replacement bushings for a while (emails, phone calls, etc.) and nothing. Sure they've been around for a while and for the most part their products are good...but this just sucks.

ohhh wtf??? thats terrible, I will take it to the shop on monday, and tell them about the bolt, the sad thing is I've had it for over a year, but its the first time I am getting it aligned because I got new tires. So, I'm gonna go through the suspension this weekend to see how it works, that way I can show them how to do it. If anyone else can shed some light on this, it would be a great help.

I looked into Skunk 2 arms. I'm so glad i got the new SPC ones instead. Super easy to adjust while assembled and on the car.
