will removing the rear shocks require an alignment? I was thinking about how i would mark the bolts, but it does not seem necessary. Anyone know?

Simply removing them putting them back? It won't change the alignment one bit. The bolt at the base isn't a camber bolt like the front

i would think it would be best to still get it aligned.

Correct. I need to swap out the bumpstops, but springs will remain the same.

I wont touch anything except for the two top bolts, and the one at the bottom (some tutorials recommend removing the lca).

Kenny, why are you changing the bumpstops if you aren't lowering the car?

BTW, how did the Whiteline RCA kit go?

Its MUCH easier to drop the lower control arm. Its just one extra bolt/nut and you'll save a lot of time. The camber is adjusted by the inner bolt so ure fine dropping the lca.

The new shocks did not have the little collar that holds the bumpstop in place, so currently they are "floating". The bump stops that came with the shocks have the collars in them, but I did not bring them with me (assumed i could use the bump stops from my existing shocks). Could not get the collar off of the kyb's.

I did not install the rck. The short story is that I chickened out.

If you turn the shock body a bit, it pops right over the lca

Kenny, your new shocks didn't come with new bumpstops, this is the rebuilt set? So confused...


Carson, you suck!



What would you guys pay for a loaded 07 CX-7, heated leather, navi, AWD, 83,700k?
