How important is it to get the washers back where they were? My marks are off by 1 line on one side. Kinda hard to torque to 203 ft lbs on your own & holding the other side.

It's important and what's worse is that the toe is very sensitive to the cam bolt. Have you ever had your car aligned?How important is it to get the washers back where they were? My marks are off by 1 line on one side. Kinda hard to torque to 203 ft lbs on your own & holding the other side.
I was planning on it after all of this, I'll probably wait on some new toe links now. I also have the bearings I was going to install with these toe links but that will wait as well. I'll lose it back up & reading that cam washer.It's important and what's worse is that the toe is very sensitive to the cam bolt. Have you ever had your car aligned?
You could go to even more trouble and press out the pair of bearings and press them into the rear knuckles. IOW replacing the rubber bushings for more toe stability during hard cornering.Better all around handling & using up my points before they expired.

These are the ones I was going to install today. I planned on taking the whole thing off & pressing it on, but watched a video from LMR where they just used a had tool press to do it so I'll probably go that route. J & M you say? I'll look them up. I am almost positive that's the brand of camber plates I had on my 14'Looks like our posts were at about the same time.
I recommend J&M Hotpart toe links. I've had other brand bearings seize up and cause a terrible rattling type noise.
It's a bit tricky but it can be done with a borrowed ball joint press.These are the ones I was going to install today.

Will remember that when time comes. Thanks for your help.It's a bit tricky but it can be done with a borrowed ball joint press.
Probably easier with the upright completely removed, but that is an extra hassle in itself.

You should be fine to drive it to a shop for a proper alignment -they will adjust it to the right position.How important is it to get the washers back where they were? My marks are off by 1 line on one side. Kinda hard to torque to 203 ft lbs on your own & holding the other side.
