That is an excellent idea Ric. I will try it next time. Yep, I went the wrong way more times than I would like to admit. My previous car had all the adjustments (except toe) on the upper control arms so I lay under the Stingray and think..no wait..move the eccentric out not in.

I have just gone through this as a DIY, making my own caster tool. All I will say is, if you can get it done for $180 by a guy who cares, do it. I have to do mine on a ramp made of 2x10s, and using a floor jack to take the weight off the wheels to make the adjustments. I have, on other cars, had bad luck relying on the eccentrics when the car has it's weight on the wheels. Getting the rear caster right along w/ the camber, getting both sides equal, required jacking the rear of the car up, adjust, drop it down and then roll it back and forth to settle the suspension, measure, 10 cycles. And then I did the toe. And the next day I did the front.
Flame on, enjoy the ride.
