Anybody install the Pedders Caster alignment bolts - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Caution · 04-15-2011, 10:53 PM

I have had the caster and camber kit from Pedders for a while now and want to put them in this weekend but need to know how much to slot the hole.

I was hoping there was something on the Pedders site but did not see any measurement.

The camber bolts are pretty much self explanatory.

I know there is some material removal but dont want to take off to much.

Thanks

Found some pics from pedders. Would enjoy speaking with someone who has already tackled this mod.

How about Pedders or any of their vendor shops?

I just put these on. Just use one of the washers and turn it to 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock and mark the ends of your slots. I found it easiest to use a 90deg. air grinder and a carbide bit.

Thanks for your reply
Did you remove the radius arms for better access, it looks kinda tight in there!!

you need to lower the radius arm this way you dont damage the bushing

Sorry that i missed this thread, i think this was when we were at the fest last week.

You need to pull the arm out of the way, removing it form the car is the best way, but you can do it with it still attached, just pulled out of the way.

Using a carbide grinder you can slot the hole fairly quickly, you don't need to slot it towards the rear of the holes, just the front side, as you will not be going more negative with the caster, just more positive.

Any local carquest or napa should be able to help you with that, or home depot/lowes.
