The 124 doesn't have a camber adjustment. Could the springs be that worn? It is visible when looking at the far that the camber is way off. What are the spring buffers your speaking of? The spring was seated correctly. When I did the rear links I put a cork-screw type jack under the wheel carrier to simulate it being on the ground. I did this job on a lift at work. To get the torque strut out (the hard looking one) I just bent out the dust shield with a large pair of pliers. Of course that was after the rotor, etc. was off. That gives you more than enough room to get all the appropraite bolts out. Then, I just bent it back when I was done. However, you need to get it back all the way in or it wants to rub sometimes on the rotor. SO, I used a chisel and a hammer to get everything back to where it was. The LS took me no more than 1 1/2 hours. That includes everything, but the lift made it that much easier. I also sprayed the bolts with PBR twice during the week before the job which helped greatly I think. I also used an impact which is a big time-saver.
Thanks
David
