Left rear of car.......
Left TN....Toe bolts go on the inboard end of the spring bucket where I've put the piece of beige masking tape.
Middle TN.... Lockout goes on the inboard end of the camber arm marked by a piece of green masking tape. See blue jam nut midway and adjuster beyond it.
Right TN.....entire Camber arm (outboard end closest) Inboard end furthest away with green tape. 104

Thank you Zip!!

Edit: You only used two lockout bolts? I see the lockout kit usually comes with four bolts/eight square washers, but your pictures only show two bolts installed on the end of each camber arm.

Not sure, but I only bought two lockout bolts. I don't know if they are to replace all four or if there's a pair required for the front, if you do the front kit???
I was able to get only two so it saved me paying for the extra pair, but I suppose if you have them, put them on the outboard end in place of the stockers.

Alright, I'll do that. Thanks again for the help! I'm much more confident to do this on my own now that I understand where everything should go
