Default 87 adjustable camber arms.

Lowered car 1 inch and want to install these before alignment shop. What relation does L/R have looking from rear. I can get the overall length close to stock but confused as to the L/R position. Zip Corvette no help. Thanks Rich

That I understand, just confused on placement. Does the left wheel get the left thread at the spindel with the right thread at the eccentric?

Thanks Blackrose, I guess it really does not matter. I''ll install the right side with R/H at the spindle.

I say left is drivers side. You shouldn't need eccentric bolts. The bolt would be fixed. The rod is turned to adjust camber, the jam nuts lock the camber adjustment. There's not a simple to set length, because of the factory eccentric. Pick a bolt on diff cover and measure to knuckle bolt hole; install and adjust rods to that distance. It should be close enough to get to alignment shop. When you change camber rod you may change toe. Toe will wear tires at a rapid rate. You don't want to put off alignment.
