oh yea, I did it.
Not really just a screw/unscrew but it is at the same time.
no step by step sorry
its not too hard, make sure you have all the OEM stock hardware. I actually have teg one on my car(teg rear LCA's). Which one are you getting?
its fairly straight forward, if you need I can try and get some picks of my setup to show you what it looks like

From experience, dont get frustrasted when one side takes 5 seconds and the other takes 30 minutes. My shop had to lower the lift and then jack up the tire on the side we could'nt get to line up correctly. But all in all pretty simple mod, looks nice too

Mine only took 30 mins to install.:dunno:
It's only two bolts. The only problem you may have is getting the bolts back in, you might have to put move the LCA's around to get the holes lined up again. Should be pretty straight forward.

Does any1 have any pictures or step-by-step help?

it's very simple...
1) put car on jack stands...
2) remove wheels
3) remove the two bolts...
4) put in the lower tie bar (do one side at a time.)
5) before putting the new bolts in... spray the hole from both sides with silicon spray.. then use grease and rub it evenly on the bolt.
6) use a rubber mallet and tap that a$$ in... this will align itself.
7) if step six doesn't work... then use a small hydrolic jack to jack up the arm, just to align it... and then continue to tap it.
8) tighten it to spec, and use a torque wrench.
9) after it is done then put wheel back on and lower the car... and ur done... plus no squeeking... hehe :thumbup:
