Does anyone have any installation instructions for a camber brace for an '89 C4.
Im very interested in this piece but I'm concerned how it is mounted. I see interference problems with the AC acumulator and possibly the power steering reservoir. What about the lower coolant hose? It seems to share the same space as the brace.
rd-racing.com does not appear to have installation instructions posted on their site. I e-mailed them for instuctions but received no reply.
Anyone??

Now I know why the install instructions cannot be found on the manufacturer's website and also why when I e-mailed R-D Racing for them (several times) I received no replys!!
It seems the camber brace install instuctions for an '89 C4 are a little incomplete. On the passenger side you need to remove the belt tensioner and belt to gain enough clearance to insert the longer control arm bolt required to install the camber brace. This is clearly explained in the included instructions after lifting the front of car and placing it on jack-stands.
What is not explained in the included instructions is that to insert the drivers side bolt through the camber brace and the control arm the power steering pump pulley must be removed! You need to do this to gain the clearance required to insert the longer control arm mounting bolt just like on the passenger side, only now the PS pump pulley is in the way ~not the tensioner! To do this the water pump damper must be removed and the power steering reservoir must be unbolted and moved to gain clearance!!! [/I]
Non of this was explained in the included instructions!
If you don't have a PS pump puller AND installer you WILL NOT be able to do this install at all!
