I installed them in about an hour and they worked very well. I recommend removing the first screw where the upper arm connects to the body. Install the long screw if using all the spacers (I needed all of them for each side) before loosening the other screw. Once the first long screw is in, pull out the other side and install another long screw. This will align the joystick so you can start working with thread. I didn't know this initially, so I had to remove the control arm from the hub to get the threads lined up properly, and then pull like crazy to line the bolt up with the hub. Then insert the pads one by one. I used a box wrench over the spacers and gently tapped them onto the bolts. You must tighten the left side first or the torque will rock the shims up and to the right. My CRV drives much better now, no more swaying in high speed corners. Thanks very much!
