Installing Camber Arms - How Much Time Should I Pay

Rpm2 · 02-09-2007, 11:23 AM

Just wondering how much time I should be paying my alingment guy to put in my camber arms? Dude already wants $95 for just the alingment.

I paid 80 for the alignment and 80 for the camber arms to be installed.

Put the camber arms on yourself, then drive to an alignment shop and get it aligned.

It's simple R&R

bump payin 9x dollars for someone else to do something i can do myself.

time wise, installation for the camber arms should take an hour max for an experienced mechanic.

After I installed the left rear spring and i knew exactly how to do it, the back right took about 15 minutes max.

Plus 1! for that!

I paid 125 for rear camber arms to be put on and an alignment afterwards. (well that's the price i'm gong to pay if i ever get camber arms.) i made the guy quote me that price on my reciept when he installed the springs.

OK you were right I took the rear wheel off and holy crap there they were lookin at me! +1 for you

Easy install if anyone is thinking of doing this...the first one took me about an hour the second side took about 15 mins just like audiophile said...loosers at the first alignment shop wanted two hours at $90 an hour to install them

. So I found a better alignment shop to do my alignment.
