Wheel Alignment
I have a Z51 with magnetic ride. Has anyone had issues with the factory wheel alignment? Is it set for track operation and you need to have it checked after about 2000 miles for daily operation?

No, it is not set for track operation. Starting on page 9-5 of the Owners Manual:

If equipped with the Z51 package,
the racing and competitive driving
wheel alignment settings should be
set as follows:
Caution

settings may cause excessive tire
wear. Only use these wheel

Alignment should only be done by
adjusting the lower control arm cam
bolts and not by removing the
washers between the upper control
arms and frame.
