Default 2026 z51 track prep

I was going to get the 2026 z51 set for track alignment. It seems the control arms or the mounting points are different because there are no spacers to move from in front of the control arm mounts to behind them. Has anyone run into this when doing a track alignment on a 26. I was going to put an amt camber kit on it now I wonder if that might screw things up. anyone run into this?

Do you mean between the control arm mounting points and the frame? On my '23 I removed the washers and moved them between the bolt head and control arms. As you know, the camber kit replaces the eccentrics. Not exactly sure what you're referring to.

There are no washers to move on the 26. Last track prep document i can find is for 2025. 2025 still talks about moving the washers. im wondering if the control arms have been redesigned and the amt camber kit as it was designed is still correct for the car.

I'd give Mark a call at AMT and discuss but I supect his kit will work.

I don't know the answer to your question, but the 2026 Owner's Manual still indicates moving washers on all 4 corners for track alignment.
