Anyone do your own alignment? I'm doing my alignment for an upcoming trackday... Going to maximize camber, then caster, and probably do 0 on the toe.
I've got a couple of newbie questions... What bolts do you loosen to adjust camber... I did only the bolt on the lower suspension arm closest to the center of the car... And the caster is the bolt on the lower suspension closest to the center of the car and the back of the car?
Any other bolts to loosen?
I have both those mentioned loose, and am trying to bang on the suspension(tire off, on jack stand), to get the bottom suspension arm to come out,, make more negative camber, but it won't go to the extreme edge of the slot. I was just gently banging for now, but I thought I'd come check. Can you get the suspension arm all the way to the extreme in that slot,, or is something else stoping it?
If anyone has any pics or a writeup for a camaro, i'd appreciate it.
thanks,
J
