A new alignment

Last Updated 7/10/2008 2:16:43 PM


By: Chris Hammond

So I took the Z06 to Sears this morning to get another alignment done on the car. I hadn't had one done since 4/3, which was before most of the races and before I screwed the alignment up putting the Koni shocks back on. The toe in the rear was hosed (unsure why), the camber in the front was off as was the caster on the left front corner, which could explain the damage to the tire in Toledo.

We'll see how well this new alignment works on Sunday as Dave and I battle it out, our goal is to finish 1 and 2 in index at our local event, me in 1st him in 2nd of course!

What happened to the tire?

Chris, was the camber a bit low in the front? Was it too much toe or too little in the back? Good luck this weekend. I'm going to a local non-SCCA club on my crappy streeties as Jason has borrowed my truck/trailer for his driver's school at Sebring. Should be interesting. ;)

So, how far off was the camber/caster in the front? Was there too much toe in the back or too little? Good luck getting your car back "on track". I'm taking mine to a local event this weekend on street tires since Jason borrowed my truck and trailer for his driving school.

I'll post the alignment numbers later this week, the caster was all off, as well as camber. Rear toe was OUT, no wonder it was so loose
