I removed 2 bolts in the rear (#5 and #6) for install and didn't touch anything else. When I do the front monoballs I will retorque at ride height.

so #12 on the trailing arm both ends, 6 and 5 and 7. I bought a end cap to shipping tubes to put it cut hole. Something like this https://www.amazon.com/Round-10-14-1...%2C157&sr=8-15

Got the thrust arms in (gotta love an easy job) and now just have the last rear corner. Ok guys, what the hell is the trick to line up the lowers control arm and rear knuckle bolt hole? I struggled with the other rear side last night. Taking a break for now and hope to come back armed with some pro tips from you all.
Almost done!

Other option is to shove a screwdriver when the hole is semi-lined up to straighten it up. Good luck!

yea for me I leave the lower shock bolt loose. then floor jack on the center of the camber arm, do not put it on the knuckle.. then use a flat head on the knuckle to realign the ball joint, it always moves.

Bingo! Screwdriver trick was…the trick. All back together and survived a lap around the block. Like I said earlier - ride height, corner balance, alignment happen next week so no flame comments on stance.

corner balance is just adjusting ride height while the car is on scales to get it as even as possible, right?
i don't understand how some cars have so much rear rake, but then i look at my car with a decent (eyeballing it) looking front leaning rake with a very small relative difference between the front/rear weights.

but yea corner balance is mainly just figuring out the ride height per corner, generally. I have it corner balanced for how my track conditions are. amount of fuel being roughly 1/2 tank.
