Rear caster question

I had the C8 up on the lift today and I don't see where the rear caster jig pins are inserted. I was going to check mine just for the heck of it. Anyone have a pic or drawing of their location?? Thanks.

Step number 9 says to make sure the alignment pin holes are free of corrosion and debris.

I'm looking for the alignment holes. You need different size pins and you can use the jig they made for the C7.

Well, here is the whole procedure for adjusting rear caster and camber.

Thank you Andy, that is is. The drawing following step #7 is really confusing me. How do you think that drawing needs to be rotated to simulate a car on the alignment rack???

Not really. I thought it was just looking up at the car from below - and that A shaped casting is maybe called a lower A arm. I would need to have the car on the lift and compare with the instructions and images.
