Rear Wheel Alignment

CORVETTE
Rear wheel alignment should be checked and adjusted periodically, when rear tires indicate abnormal wear, or when suspension components are replaced. Prior to rear wheel alignment, check suspension components for damage or excessive wear and repair as needed. Also ensure tires are properly inflated, and wheel bearing endplay is within specifications.

Camber, Adjust
Wheel camber is adjusted by rotating the eccentric cam and bolt located at the inboard end of the strut rod or spindle support rod. To check and adjust camber, proceed as follows:
1. Place rear wheels of vehicle on suitable alignment equipment following manufacturer's instructions, then check camber reading.
2. If wheel camber is not within specifications, loosen cam bolt retaining nut.
3. Rotate cam bolt until camber reading is within specifications listed at the front of this chapter.
4. Torque cam bolt nut to specifications while holding position of bolt, then recheck camber reading.
