Replacing cam bolts on lower suspension arm

Post by Opsmedic »

Hi All

I have to replace the adjusting cam bolts on the lower suspension arms of my IFS is this something than I can do at home or does it need to go to a garage to be done. Thanks.

Regards
Dave

I have not done it yet, but the last time I had the wheel alignment done, the guys at Supa Quick had a hard time turning one of them bolts. I asked if they can replace it and they said they did in the past but now send all the clients to the Toy dealers to have it done. Apparently sometimes you can really battle to get the bolt out.
