    Does the ride or handling of the car feel "off" when the tires are like that (before fixing)?

    It did not but I think in more aggressive driving situations it can be felt since there is less real contact patch with the tires. I know that with the excessive camber I had the inside of the tires would have worn unevenly over time

    There are two bushings per side that need replaced and here is a picture that show the two of them. It's a 18mm bolt and nut that has to come out for both of them.

    In that pic posted showing the two bushings(post 178) I installed the top bolt facing the other direction. Wonder if it will be a problem
