Okay so I may have a big problem. Someone elaborate...
Long story short I got a ZL1 cradle off of a wrecked car, got it in the car today, and the alignment is absolutely awful. I can barely see it, but I have a positive Toe on my passenger side rear wheel. I assume this is either a result of the donor car being wrecked, or .... well I think that’s the cause to be honest. I’m no expert but I also may be jumping to conclusions.
The cradle looked fine? All the points and geometry seemed to be correct? But yes the Toe is extremely off... is there a way to adjust the Toe of the rear wheels? I know BMR has some rear Toe rods... but I’d REALLY like to finish off this project without getting deeper into the cost.

The toe can be adjusted with the factory toe rods (inner bolt hole, at the subframe, has an elongated hole).

I would start by checking everything over again, and make sure everything measures square(ie.. no bent toe rod or mount points). Let me know if I can help.

Well guys I’m going to check into the alignment Friday, but before I head into it, figure I’d ask this...
Also after we did the swap, my Stabilitrak and TCS lights are lighting up whenever I go over approx. 20mph. I wouldn’t think there would be anything causing the issue other than the sensor on each side that (I assume) is the speed sensor. I reused my factory harness as well? So I’m not sure why I’m having that problem.. any thoughts?

What size wheels/tires on the front and rear?

Just as a follow up for anyone with the Stabilitrak issue in the future, it was the result of not being aligned and the added friction resistance on one side.
