I've got some severe inside tire wear on my '95 Z28. Are there camber adjustments available? I can't seem to find the eccentric.

Thanks.

If not, how do we adjust for severe negative camber?

 

mine was my front strut i had terrible wear on the inside, replaced it and fixed it ...to bad it didnt fix my tires

 

Struts seem firm... Koni with Eibach Springs. Thanks for the tip.

I can't seem to find the eccentric to adjust the camber though.

 

The Camber is adjusted with loosening the front lower "A" arm nut , and the caster is adjusted with loosening the rear nut.
Camber's probably not your main problem.
You probably have to much "Toe Out", which will cause accelerated wear on the inside tire edge.
FYI, I've always(7-8yrs) ran at least -1 degree camber up front and the only time I had any accelerated wear on the inside tire edge was when my front "Toe" was out of adjustment (To much "Toe-out").

 

Thanks. I will have it aligned. How is Big O?

 

I prefer to stay away from the chain stores!
Ask around about a good home town shop, one that's been around a long time.

IMO, you'll want a shop that's done a few front end alignments on 93 on up camaro's, and firebird's before.

 

Excellent advice. Find a shop that has a good rep. I happen to have a neighbor that has his own shop, and that's all he does.

 

I figured out why an alignment for a Camaro should be performed at a place that has a reputation. I went to the chain alignment (name not posted) location and the Camaro requires a special service tool.

This store had great customer service and let me into the shop during the tire installation and the alignment. They pulled the screen on the Hunter Alignment Rack to show me the $600 alignment tool charged by GM that is necessary for the alignment.

There are so few Gen IV vehicles (1995) that are serviced there that they do not have the tool, however, he called and left messages with Matco and Snap On while I was there.

So, it is important to go into a shop that has the SST. Otherwise, they will only be doing toe-in/out only and charging you full price.

The SST looks like two-hook shaped pieces that are threaded with a double-ended female nut.

 

You can get that Caster/Camber tool for a lot less than $600!
The lowest price I've seen them for is around $95

But, it can also be done with a ratcheting tie-down strap; I've seen it done before.

 

You do not need the tool to do an alignment.

 

Thanks everyone. Got it done. Works great!

I can now launch straight...

The next problem is that I lose traction and spin the tires from 4800 to OMG. Low in grip is "adequate" with a careful launch...
