Fitting rear camber arms

You need axle stands, a socket set and some WD40.

You are replacing like for like, the camber arm has two mounting points on the chassis and one on the strut.

The bugger is when doing the nearside as the petty tank gets in the way. Once you've got the new arms, get the rear wheel off and you'll see what needs doing.

Just adjust the new arm to the same length as the OEM one you are taking off until you get the geometry done properly.
 
2 x bolts each side - job done! [put a jack under the arm]

just wondering, when using axle stands where do you put them as you can't use the jacking points as the jack is already there

The EP3 also has two jacking points in the centre of the car, one at the front and the rear tow bar at the back. It is all explained in your manual. Jack the car up with the centre rear jacking point and then put the axle stands under the side points where you would jack it if you got a puncture.

Another sort of guide for camber arm replacement:

You can adjust them whilst in situ, but you need to get them set up by a professional to get the most out of them.
