To install the toe links and traing arms, follow the follwing instruction.
Trailing Arms:
1. unbolt the plastic under cover
2. use a wrench to hold the stock trailing arm and unscrew the 14mm head M10 bolt
3. unbolt the bushing end of the trailing arm
4. adjust the rod end on the RE trailing arm to the same length as the stock one.
5. bolt on the rod end side of the trailing arm. you need a 17mm wrench and a 17mm socket
6. tighten the jam nut by using two wrenches. One on the rod (22mm) and one on the jam nut (24mm)
7. screw in the 14mm head M10 bolt by using two wrenches, one on the bolt (14mm) and one on the rod (22mm)
8. put the plastic under cover back
9. get an alignement ASAP.
Toe Links:
1. take off the wheel
2. unbolt the stock traing arms using two wrenches, one on the nut (14mm) and one on the bolt (14mm)
3. adjust the RE toe links to the same length as the trailing arms
4. bolt on the RE toe links. You might need to use a hammer to tap the rod ends into slots. The bushings are almost in zero tolerance. The one on the steering knuckle
is harder to put on. The other end can slip right in with little effort.
5. put back the wheel
6. get an alignment ASAP.
Make sure the rod end seals are flushed with the surface of the rod ends. If you are not careful, the rubber seal might get stuck between the rod end body and the rod end pillow ball.
That's it. Enjoy!

1. use thread lock (that liquid stuff that you put on the thread) on all bolts
2. tighten the toe links jam nuts after you bolt them on using two wrenches, one on the rod (22mm), and one on the jam nut (24mm)

Just got them in Chuck. They are beautiful. Great quality, super fast service. An all around great experience (think I need a cigarett 
).
