Default Wheel Camber

What is the factory , negative , wheel Camber, on my 2017 Grand Sport Corvette?
Can any GOOD alignment service bring it back to Zero?

Here are the factory specs.



Most Z06s (FE6/FE7 suspension RPOs) come from the factory with the camber in the -1.0 range which is well within spec.

The only thing any good shop can't do is the rear caster adjustment since it requires special tools that are specific to the C7. Even most dealerships can't do that adjustment.

Depends how you use the car:

FWIW, had my Grand Sport checked at 400 miles after suspension settled.

Camber was about -1.5 on average with one -1.7. Fine if tracking but on the high end (or low depending how you look at it.) All within broad GM spec if you look at the table Bill provided.

I had it reset to -0.6 to -0.8 (gave the Tech a sheet of paper showing desired setting and range min and max as well.) Also within the GM spec but it will provide less tire wear. One toe was out and Tech centerlined all. New Hunter alignment machines are neat!

All done on GM's dime on warranty.
