Clocking bushings

[KilluminatiDre]

Does anyone know of any write ups on clocking the bushings after lowering the s550? Ive seen a few threads where its mentioned and someone posted some diagrams but some are kinda difficult to see exactly where its pointed. I dont want to be in a position where i loosen something with a high torque and not be able to torque it back to spec.

This is probably the diagram you've seen:

The fronts are easy. Follow the control arms to where they mount to the chassis. That's what you're loosening.

The rear can be a bit more difficult to figure out in this picture.

1. Both sides of the camber link -- in the picture above, that's the red bar that's curved.

2. Where the toe link is attached to the knuckle, that's the red bar at the bottom of the rear suspension diagram.

After this I kinda cheesed it and just loosened all four spots on the control arm. With that said, the correct two spots on the control arm are:

3. Where the rear control arm attaches to the knuckle
4. Where the rear control arm attaches to the vehicle on the inside

If you are stuck on the rear control arm, it is perfectly fine to just loosen all four. Once everything is loosened, re-torque.

Thank you. I this helps greatly and makes sense of the diagrams.

Im finally about to try and tackle this. So i have everything loose so far except the rear control arm. I wanted to confirm that the rear control arm bolts im looking for are the big 24mm bolts?
