Alignment
Took my 18 RS in for an alignment from the dealer I bought the car. Not a Chevy Dealer, was told something about special tools needed to align the Camaro. What's up with this? Looks like only Chevy dealers can align a Camaro?

I have an 18 RS, and Belle Tire did mine with no issues. Wasn't any more expensive than any other alignment, so I'm guessing there was nothing special about it

I have mine done at a Ford and CDJR dealer (I work at them), and the techs have no issues with aligning an off brand vehicle. |

comment was something about a bolt that has to be replaced to do the alignment. I see that they have camber bolt kits. Something new that I have not dealt with in the past.

Indeed there is a single-use bolt, plus the camber adjustment assist bolt that is not part of the suspension but helps perform the alignment (and is discarded afterwards).

Thanks for the info! I really appreciate it. First time I have had a car that you have to replace the suspension bolts on alignment.
