rear axle alignment
Anyone know what the caster & camber should be for the rear axle? I have a Z51 suspension. 1986 convertible.

Z51 wasn't available in the convertibles.
For street driving, total toe at rear should be 1/8" in (1/16" per side) and 0 degrees camber. You can also go with up to a .5 negative camber.
For the front, total toe is 1/32" in, 0 degrees camber and 5-7 degrees positive caster.
If the rear is out of alignment, get a 4-wheel alignment done.

The original owner wanted it put on this car. With enough money, you can do anything. It does have the Z51 suspension.
