Dealer forgot to remove spring shipping blocks - Page 2

Are these only on ZL1 & 1LE cars or do they come on all Camaro's?

Just curious...

Mine were left in by the dealer and someone here pointed out in my pics it sat slightly higher in the front end. Funny thing is, I thought it drove pretty good.

Be glad that it wasn't your hospital and /nurse doctor instead of your dealer and tech . Every industry has incompliant people .

I thought my dealer was fantastic but I had to ask them to remove the spacers. The ZL1 sitting right by my car did not have them. They just missed mine in new car prep. It's worth checking on these cars to be certain you are clear before driving off.

"Nice" job. Tell them not to give it to the alignment guy next time.

According to the High Performance Owner’s Manual Supplement, only ZL1s and SS 1LE have those:

SS 1LE, and ZL1 Only
Due to low ramp angles on ZL1 and SS 1LE vehicles, use care when loading the vehicle onto a flatbed carrier. Front spring spacers are provided for lifting the front suspension if more clearance is necessary when towing.

ZL1 1LE Only
Due to the high spring rate and spring design used on ZL1 1LE vehicles, spring spacers are not provided. If more clearance is needed when towing, raise the adjustable spring seat to lift the front suspension. See “Strut Spring Seat Adjustment” in Track Events and Competitive Driving.

Mine were in the glovebox when I took delivery of my 2022 ZL1 last week.

That's about the only thing the PDI guy did right. Chipped front splitter (dealer wrote me a check to replace when I got home), inside of car not clean (I asked then NOT to wash it... took it straight to ceramic coater), tire pressures all over the place. Oh well...

Love the car!

I’d call the dealer and pretend to make a big fuss over it. If you ever have any front end issues, you can try to get them to cover it
