Gotta be expensive by the time you get done with the tires and all, but guess you could recoup some $$$ with the take off parts??

From what we've seen out there the last couple days it looks like a 7 speed in 2019. Big $$$ to make that swap including TCM. Haven't seen anyone do it yet.

I did look for my alignment specs tonight and it's about the only piece of paper I can't find.
Ughhhhh I know it's some where safe..

What dealer performed the second alignment and could you provide the specs they utilized?

Parkway did the only alignment. Nothing was done at Buckalew.

As mentioned in my last post I have the service receipt but can't find the alignment sheet. When I come across it I'll post.

I’d also like to see that sheet. I’ve noticed my car doing something similar at times. I’m going to throw it up on our alignment rack one of these days when I have some time to kill, but I’m definitely curious as to how far yours was off. I’ve been doing alignments on performance cars for the last 12 years or so, for what it’s worth. I could see a rear toe issue causing this.

I'd be interested in seeing the alignment sheet if you don't mind sharing. I'd be surprised if it was just caused by camber, what you describe sounds a lot like the toe was way off. It's really hard to see visually when toe is out of whack (as opposed to camber, that is usually pretty obvious to see), it can also be way off and the car drive fine/straight most of the time.

Anyway, glad to hear that the alignment has seemed to fix your issue, whatever adjustment it was that fixed it.

I knew I had it somewhere. Just found it stapled to the back of some other papers.

Here you go...

Better since alignment ? Numbers look pretty good ( at least nice and even left to right ).

I never got a chance to test it out before selling it.

This is an old thread, but I will add my 2 cents.

Coming out of a 2016 M3 with the rear-end hard mounted to the frame and into my SS 1LE, you could tell immediately that the rear-end liked to wag a little in transitions and quick lane change maneuvers.

I swapped the rear rubber cradle bushings for the ZL1 1LE solid cradle bushings and the rear-end was completely tamed.

I believe your issue was the flex in the rear cradle bushings.

[Snakebt6]

I'm still pretty new to mine.

Ive noticed the car has a wiggle in the rear end under hard acceleration. Kind of like the body is moving over the suspension if that makes sense.

Doesn't seem like an alignment thing as it drives and tracks straight under normal conditions.

Ill bring it to the dealers attention next time I'm there.

[DaveC113]

I'm new to the car but side to side transitions and cornering over uneven pavement can feel a little odd at times, kinda like the rear end flexes then snaps back? The car feels more isolated from it's drivetrain that I'd expect from a track oriented car.

[TRZ06]

For the last 2 posters, it is the rubber flex of the rear cradle bushings. There is nothing wrong with the car from a design or warranty POV.

You either have to live with it, or upgrade to either BMR's rear cradle lock-out kit OR GMPP's ZL1 1LE solid rear cradle bushings.

IMO, all Camaros should have the solid rear cradle bushings, however I think GM's thinking was to save it for only the top dog ZL1 1LE. I think it should at the least been standard on the SS 1LE as well.

HAHA, I doubt you were forced at gun point. Make better decisions.

Do the 1LE solid rear cradle bushings degrade the ride and suspension on the street in "normal" driving?

Thanks!
