Ms3 genpu camber arm help

[Mr.Gregg]

I am in the process of installing some nice new coilovers on my 2012 speed3, and decided to start on the passenger rear corner. I've found that the inboard camber arm is a huuuge pain. There's a dust shield the bolt runs into while backing out; the only way to get it out involved seriously twisting the crap out of the camber arm. On the oem arm, the bushing was soft enough that this was possible, but not possible on the new arm.

There's a 10mm bolt holding the dust shield in, but that, too, is impossible to get to. Any tips or tricks?

Yes that rear passenger side is a PITA because of that fuel neck shield.

Almost if not all of the rear suspension arms have the same thread bolts, just different lengths.

One of the bolts for the toe arms are shorter, cant remember if its inner or outer.

Regardless of which, compare bolt lengths and swap the upper camber arm bolts with the shorter ones from the toe arms. This will make your life much easier.

Weird, mine are all definitely the same size. Guess I'll have to grab a new sawzall blade tomorrow and try to shorten it up
