Lifting that thing up i have done like that before on front suspension but i must admit on one side i wasn't quite there. Seeing that car come up and move a little is scary as shit to me. Lol. Also how is that bolt adjusting the rear toe and how much per turn would it equal. What i mean is the manual shows turning the bolt after loosening teh flange nut but it doesn't say which way does what or how much.

Obviously if they're seized and you gotta cut the through bolts you'll need new ones. Yup I would mark them before you even touch them and put them back the same way. A final alignment after all this work is performed would be best. The bolt is just a cycle, it doesn't matter which direction you turn it, the final clocked location sets the toe setting. You'll see what I mean when you mess with it.

I forgot to ask. Which way adjusts which way on rear toe. Does clockwise make positive or negative. My left wheel is already out of toe at .20. My right is 0.00. would help to know when i get it aligned to tell those guys. I doubt they would know. Sais in my shop manual that it is important to have both the exact same in between 0.00 and 0.15''. that is in sae measurements i believe.

If the offset washer is centered above the bolt head, on the left side turning it CCW will increase toe; on the right side turning CW would increase toe. This would work opposite if the offset washer starts off below the bolt head. I don't think the OEM manual specifies what the starting position should be (I'll check when I get home). Either way, they can get where they need to go by turning in either direction; it is primarily the side to side position that matters, not up/down.

Pretty much making the removal of the bolt impossible. Then you have to resort to cutting it out. Usually with a hacksaw, and not in the best of conditions. If the whole rear sub frame comes out then you can just flip it upside down and work at your own leisure.
job then you realize half the bolts are rusted lol.Keep Pushing..

Both of my eccentric bolts were seized and had to sawzall both sides off the car in order to replace them when upgrading to FFC four LCA kit. PITA!
However it was well worth it. Huge improvement for handling and stiffness/rigidity in the back now. Highly reccommend an improvement over stamped steel stock arms any day.
