There should be two bolts underneath that 100 amp fuse that you undo to get it out

In regard to the Efans, you'll need to utilize Relays, and a switch (ore an aftermarket control unit) to make it all work easily. Derale makes a nice one you can get from Summitt (and searching)

Lastly, if you just put new RUCA on, you'll need to adjust them/get it aligned. You may have also put the eccentric washers back into the slots incorrectly as well. With that said, pick up some rear toe arms as well to fix the rear toe issue you're going to have being slammed and with that much camber.

+1 on the relays for the fan, don't rely on a switch because one of two things could happen, you forget to turn them on and overheat or you forget to turn them off and end up with a dead battery.

I'll add a third one. the switch is not designed to take the power needed to drive the fan and starts a fire, burning the car.

When you dont know about electrics, dont try to guess and buy a fan controler.

If you want something safe, you need a relay, fuse, fuse holder, waterproof connectors, and a temp sensor; this way you will be able to have your efan work on its own, and force it on if you want to.

A fan controler is exactly that, so get one.

Yeah for the efans i am just going to buy the automatic thermostat control from autozone and hook it up to a relay.
Thats a stock ruca. It wasnt bent or anything, i have no idea why its all bent in like that.
i put on my 18x10 +30 wheel and on the other side it fit perfectly, on this side its been rubbing on my coilover.

Did you try messing with the eccentric bolts for camber? If so you will need to adjust that back. Also raise the car up a tad.

Those help to adjust your camber on a stock setup, they don't give all that much adjustment which is why aftermarket RUCA are needed. Also how do you have adjustable camber arms yet stock RUCA? The RUCA is your camber arm for the back.

Since you seem pretty fucking clueless...You need to get an aftermarket Rear Upper Control Arm (RUCA). The problem you have is that since the car is low, the stock RUCA is not going to have enough adjustment to correct your camber (basically, shit is too fucking short). An aftermarket RUCA will get alot more adjustment and be able to extend further out to correct your camber. At the same time, you're Rear Toe arm is maxed out too at that height. So you need to get an aftermarket one too. Get those 2 things, put it on, eyeball your alignment and then go straight to an alignment shop.

And get the SPL eccentric bolt lockout kit. It has been my observation that those stock bolts slip screwing up the alignment you just paid for. For that you must have adjustable RUCA and toe arms as stated above.

post a pick of the other side. that is pretty drastic, looks like something is bent. take it to someone who knows about cars before you hurt yourself and people around you.

Well, fuse is fixed. I put on an RUCA after searching for an extended bolt. The camber is still not fixed, tried adjusting them out didnt work. Ordering toe arms soon

Toe Arms will not fix the camber issue. Sounds like you've got something bent or fubar up in there yet.
