Default Adjustable lower arms?
Hi guys!

Simple question, Adjustable lower arms, do they exist?
Would make camber and caster adjustment easier on some rames I guess.


thanks!

Not practical!

As like your sway bar, wheel track, spindle distance, steering arm geometry is set by fixed geometry lowers, you would be messing with the engineering geometry going away from alignment tuning.

I think / thought it was a sideview?
Although, after contacting the seller, it's not specifically for corvettes so ideally looking for something specific to our C3's to make life easier.

That part alone will Not ... that's the principal part and, as I wrote above, it works with a few more bits.

go to a local circle track race shop/team ... ask to see a few front ends ... 'specially an older Port City chassis ... or blissfully shine it on.
