You need a machine press and someone who knows how to use it... or someone really ingenious to dream up another method.

If you are writing about the Whiteline kit, it installs on the inboard side of the toe control arm on the rear suspension. You press out the old polymer bushing, press in the new one, and install the eccentrically drilled metal cylinder in the new bushing with the eccentric hole down. Essentially, this just lowers the inboard mounting point for the arm by 5 mm or so.

Look up Whiteline's home page. They have installation instructions somewhere there. Or, at least they were there a few weeks ago.

I installed this kit a few weeks ago. I was able to use a big bench vise and a couple of big sockets to press the old one out and put the new one in. Pretty easy, but YMMV.

You HAVE to have the suspension aligned afterwords. Make sure you tell the tech that the eccentric is there. If they screw up the placement, they can increase the bumpsteer, or make it impossible to adjust the toe. Ask me how I know!

I just had the alignment shop do my kit when they aligned it after I did my Swift install. It only took them about 20 minutes. Youll need an alignment after you install them anyways...
