Default Replacing Rear Shock Top Mount

is it possible to remove the rear suspension top mounts without removing the complete shock absorber on 1999 impreza

is there enough movement in the rear wishbone to remove top shock bolt and remove the top mount? i dont want to remove or loosen the bottom bolts on the shock and upset the camber

you will need too remove the shock the lower 2 bolts do not adjust the camber but if in doubt put a paint mark on the bolt head and on the shock for ree fitting hope this helps

The only way you can adjust the camber on the back is by adjust the rear lateral links. Your shock just bolts to the upright with 2 normal bolts. So you can remove the shock with out upsetting anything.
