Rear wheel side to side play
Hi all,
I have a C6Z, and the rear wheels have a lot of play side-to-side (toe). I believe this is the tie rod ends.
Looking online, some people have noted that C5 rear tie rods don't fit the C6, and vise-versa.
However, SPL parts (who I trust when it comes to suspension parts) says that their rear tie rod ends will fit both the C5 and C6 - is this because the adjustable nature gives it more thread to play with?

So if you have any play, you have a problem.
Now when you grab the tires (vehicle is lifted in the air by the lift points and not the tires ) at 12 and 6 o'clock and then at 9 and 3 o'clock where do you see the movement in the suspension components when you see the play?

Thanks for the response Dutch. I didn't actually test it myself; my mechanic mentioned it was the rear tie rods after he checked the wheels during an oil change.
I should have rephrased my original question; I'm more curious about whether the SPL tie rods really do fit both the C5 and C6, because some have mentioned C5 tie rods aren't compatible with C6 ones.
