Reference Photos of Stock Underbody
So I got new tires this weekend, and my car was up on a lift for the first time since I bought it. I took the opportunity to snap some pictures of the underside of the car, which I've never gotten a good look at before. There are a few taken from the sides as well, just to get a good perspective.
I have 7-megapixel versions of these. It seems to me that they could be somewhat informative. If anyone wants a high-res copy, feel free to ask. Other than the 3" Corsa catback, everything you see here is completely stock. View from rear of car: https://jakerobb.dev/images/camaro/r.../from-rear.jpg View of left rear spring from behind the tire. https://jakerobb.dev/images/camaro/r...g-and-tire.jpg View of right rear spring, standing where the right rear tire would be if it weren't removed: https://jakerobb.dev/images/camaro/r...ear-spring.jpg View of the front right brake/suspension assembly, tire removed: https://jakerobb.dev/images/camaro/r...suspension.jpg View of the left rear wheel/brake/suspension/axle. Taken from right under the muffler. https://jakerobb.dev/images/camaro/r...suspension.jpg View of the bottom of the engine, from the front, looking up. Crank pulley front and center. https://jakerobb.dev/images/camaro/r...-of-engine.jpg View of trans, cats, and oil filter. Looks like I have a little leak, or maybe the oil change guys are a little sloppy. Taken from beneath the driver's door. https://jakerobb.dev/images/camaro/r...oil-filter.jpg View of the rear suspension including stock panhard bar, taken from just behind the right rear brake disc. https://jakerobb.dev/images/camaro/r...on-panhard.jpg Rear end of the driveshaft where it connects to the diff, from the right side of the car. A section of exhaust pipe is visible too. https://jakerobb.dev/images/camaro/r...shaft-diff.jpg |
Re: Pictures!
Fuel filter and brake lines, looking left from beneath the driveshaft.
https://jakerobb.dev/images/camaro/r...rake-lines.jpg Similar to previous, angled more towards the rear of the car. Rear shock and other suspension components are visible. https://jakerobb.dev/images/camaro/r...ke-lines-2.jpg View of right rear suspension bump stop (showing how close it is to the tire), taken from behind the tire. https://jakerobb.dev/images/camaro/r...-bump-stop.jpg View of left rear shock and spring, with the brake lines, fuel lines, and ABS sensor harness connectors visible on the body behind it. https://jakerobb.dev/images/camaro/r...connectors.jpg |

Re: Pictures!
More specifically, I posted these because lots of guys have 4th-gens, but not everyone has time to get under the car and look when they want to see how something is put together. I've owned my car for almost a year now, and this is the first time I've been underneath it. I know I would have liked to get a look at these pictures back when I bought the car, and I'm offering them up for anyone else who wants to know what it looks like under there.
I have a pretty nice camera and plenty of hosting space on the web, so I thought I would share these. |
Re: Pictures!
ah! -- I read it as the 7 megs could be more informative..or something? Didn't read into it much because my mind sees pictures and prefers those over words -- looks nice and clean under there btw

Re: Pictures!
I find this to be quite useful. It's good to see the underside of the car and know what's what. Not many pictures like this out there, could be used as a good reference.

Re: Pictures!
Pertaining to the underside picture of your engine and transmission:
That oil is probably seeping from a faulty gasket/manifold due to not totally sealing its perimeter from the factory. My car has the same seepage. Every time I change my oil, I wipe it all down and the next time I change it, it's back. I think I'm only losing about 2 ounces of oil at the most and my mech. says it's not a big deal. |

Re: Pictures!
Yes, helpful. However there is one particular angle that I need which is obscured by the torque arm. It's the emergency brake cable mounts and the rear seat belt stud mounting brackets. I'm trying to adapt some fourth-gen speed parts to my third-gen and it looks as if the transmission tunnels are slightly different.

Re: Pictures!
Is that a salvage/rebuilt car?

Now it looks as if I need to cut open the transmission tunnel in order to widen it so that I can clear the new torque arm design. ...or were you referring to Jake's beautiful Camaro which is one of the finest in Meridian Township? |
Re: Pictures!
Very clean underbody. I'm surprised it took you so long to look under there. That was one of the first places I would check when I was on the hunt for an f-body since I am in the Chicago area and alot of the cars I looked at were in pretty poor shape due to road salt abuse.
