Rear Camber. Can't reach track settings.

Stanimal · 04-08-2019, 02:07 PM

Brought my car to get the track alignment done. The shop positioned the front struts to the Track Camber setting. I gave the shop the wheel alignment specs from the Chevy track preparation guide (front camber -2.7, rear camber -2.0). They said they couldn't get the rear camber past -1.2. Anyone else try to adjust rear camber to track settings?

2.7 on the front and 2.0 on the rear for me, no issues

hmmm. And they seemed like good car people. Oh well. Time for a new tire place.

Yes, should be easy.

Find a new place that knows how to use eccentric adjusters. If they can only get -1.2°, they don't know what they're doing.

Did they bounce the rear end a few times? Camber sometimes wont show right on the rack the tires scrub.

I bet after you drove it its closer to the -2 it should be.

Did they replace the control arm bolt? If not, that is a clue they have no idea what they are doing and did not open the service manual.

That bolt is the eccentric to turn...but is TTY single use bolt, must remove and discard... install new bolt turned to desired camber, then tq nut.

When the next person doe it right, make sure they put new bolts in. You don't want control arm bolts in there that have been yielded a couple times.

Dealer had no problem... ...plus pricing was reasonable.
