C6 Z06

Does anyone have a link that shows what bolts have to be adjusted to change the alignment specs? I've measured my alignment and want a tad more rear camber, but after a search I haven't found any DIY guide on how this is done. Pics help!

Thanks

Thanks, I've seen that. What I was hoping to find is an actual how to change the camber using the concentric bolts on a C6. I didn't know if anyone had it laid out in an how-to.

I used that link to measure where it's at now.

Here is the service manual procedure and diagram for the rear camber adjustment.



1. Loosen the lower control arm cam bolt nuts.
2. Rotate the cam bolts to the required camber specification setting. Refer to Wheel Alignment Specifications .

Notice
Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.


3. Maintain the camber setting while tightening the cam bolt nuts. Tighten

• Tighten the rear lower control arm (front) bolt nut to 145 N·m (107 lb ft).
• Tighten the rear lower control arm (rear) bolt nut to 95 N·m (70 lb ft).

Important
Check the toe setting AFTER changing camber or caster.


Check the camber setting after tightening. Adjust the camber setting if necessary.

Mark them before you start, but it is obvious once you turn one of them. Since the marks on the concentric aren't linear with the amount of change, you have to 'get a feel' for how much you need.

You may want to start by taking some shims out of the top of the A-arms. JD
