Rep Power: 0 noob question. ES bushings and skunk2 camber kit
Just ordered the complete ES package and am looking at this skunk2 rear camber kit ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/SKUNK2-REAR-...torefresh=true ).
Was it dumb of me to get the package with rear control arm bushings if I'm going to put this camber kit in? Will the ES bushings fit in the skunk2 kit -- is there even any point in doing that? Sorry . . . noob . . . lol thanks

the ES package and the skunk2 camber arms are two completely different things....
your ES bushings set will not be replacing any bushing on the skunk2 camber arm (or the factory camber arm) for that matter.
the ES bushing set you ordered are for the lower arm and sway bar and the like

Thanks again for helping me out with this. Got some equally nooby follow up questions.
I decided to start spraying some pb blaster up there today since I've heard these bolts can be rough to get out and are prone to snapping. All I'm doing is taking out those two bolts up top and the one near the wheel and the new part fits right in, right?
Also, what is the line running through there? It's connected to the existing arm with some kind of bracket to keep it in place. What am I supposed to do with it when I put the skunk kit on? Seems to be no such bracket on the skunk kit.
Thanks again for being a noob friendly forum! Much appreciated.
