suspension, the movement of shims on Corvette models is opposite that of the Chevrolet Malibu, and Monte Carlo, since the upper control arm shaft is
outboard of the frame. (compare Figs. 1 and 2.)

CAMBER, ADJUST

Except. Camaro
Camber adjustments are made by means of shims between the upper control arm inner support shaft and the support bracket attached to the frame.
Shims may be added, subtracted or transferred to change the readings.
Change shims at both the front and rear of the shaft. Adding an equal number of shims at both front and rear of the support shaft will decrease positive
camber. One shim (1/32 inch) at each location will move camber approximately 1/6 degree.

TOE-IN, ADJUST

Fig. 6 Toe-in adjustment

Toe-in can be adjusted by loosening the clamp bolts at each end of each tie rod and turning each tie rod to increase or decrease its length as necessary
until proper toe-in is secured and the steering gear is on the high point for straight-ahead driving. Fig. 6.
