I'm at my work laptop so I can't photoshop the exact location. However, see the spring on the right? There are two "arms" running top and bottom of the spring from the wheel towards the haldex unit. The one at the top of the rear spring is the upper control arm. The run running along the bottom is the lower control arm.

Use the tool that comes with the K-mac to remove the old bushing.

So the 1/2 Kmac goes on the lower or upper control arms?

Default it goes into the inner bushing of the control arms>>>

you can have it at the upper or the lower arm (some say the upper arm gives you more adj. others says the lower)

i had my ECS adj control arm on lower

but i would put the 1/2 kmac kit up top
