Suspension Question - 92
Ok, I'm a little dissapointed. Went to the alignment shop and they were not able to get me any negative camber on the front.
On the driver side there are NO shims to remove!
The tech did not know what he could do, he said possibly the knuckle (I may not have that correct) might be bent.
I'm going to do bushings, ball joints and tie rod ends over the winter. Should I also plan on A arms on the driver side and new "knuckle"?
Thanks in advance.

Is there any indication that the car may have been in an accident? Frame damage that is not properly repaired may not allow for enough adjustment for the correct amount of negative camber. The fact that the tech mentioned that the knuckle could be bent may suggest that there was frame damage somewhere.
Z07-equipped cars came with offset lower control arm bushings so that may be some help.

I don't see any frame damage,everything seems to be original.
Is there something I can measure to be sure?
It is a Z07 car, so does your comment on the control arm bushings mean that the new bushings could be put in such a way that I can get more adjustment?
