Default Camber brace install

I bought a used camber brace with no install info. Do you use the front bolts for the upper control arms or the bolts below it ??
Thanks
Tony

use the ones from the upper control arms if ya notice the hole in the camber brace is oval the end of the bolt to the upper control arm has a oval notch that fits in the hole and keeps the bolt from turning when ya tighten it. i bought a used one myself and figured hell ill use the lower ones less hastle well didnt work couldnt get the camber brace to clear the bolts to the uper control arms so ya havta use them. and just to let ya know i have an 84 and i had to remove the pulley from the power steering pump to get the drivers side bolt out. not sure if this is the case for whatever year you have. but might not be a bad idea to have a puller ready or be ready to take the pump off to get that bolt out.

On my LT4 I had to pop the serpentine belt off in order to get the driver's side bolt back in with the bar in place. Due to clearance issues, I wound up buying a serpentine belt tool in order to get the belt back on.
