No you don't need anything else, it's just a lot easier to install when the cradle is lowered.every little bit helps.

Thank you Joe.G

As you can see I am not that expert in Camaro parts.

Question = From all the parts you listed. Which ones need drop the cradle to install ?

FC002 Camber Bolts, Rear, 1 Degree Offset can be installed later or also need to drop the cradle ?

As you said about BK039 - Bushing Kit, Rear, Upper Control Arm, Delrin need to drop the cradle to installed I
will also get it now.

Later I will buy those other parts that don't need to drop the cradle to installed

Thank you again for all the support.

The solid cradle bushings and the Upper Control arm mounts, The others can be done easily with cradle in the car. Camber bolts I would get if you get non adjustable LCA's.

Just remember associated alignment needs. When considering what to group together, I wouldn't think only on cradle in/out, I'd think on what items affect alignment. Don't want to repeat that more than you have to for cost reasons and just the extra work. Plus when you get into replacing some of these things, you have a strong potential for needing to trailer it to get aligned. Unless you manage to keep things just right, it can likely be undriveable.

Example... I'm not done, but I did lower control arms, toe rods, end links, cradle bushings, and coilovers. Thought I was going to get it close and gently drive it to the shop for alignment. When done, I took it for a drive in my neighborhood. Stopped a few houses away from mine because it felt like I was driving on an ice skating rink and I even wondered if I had torqued lug nuts. Ended up taking it right back home and trailering to the shop for alignment.

Sure.. Understood.

I can't do it by my self.. I will go to some mechanic so they can do all it is needed.

They already told me that after changing all parts, they will do the alignment.

They know what to do, they already changed my friends Camaro suspension/cradle bushings, etc

Joe.G · 09-25-2025, 06:41 PM

Did you give them Alignment specs? If tracking don't use factory.

I was not aware of this.

Alignment specs for a street car is one thing.

Alignment specs for a race car is other thing right ?

I need to ask them what kind Alignment specs I want to ?

Sorry I have no ideia.

I can say that I daily drive my car on street and I will use my car for race/track day just few times. Maybe next year when racetrack here in Brasil is ready. I guess one every 3 months.

So I can't set Alignment specs for a race because most of time I will use my car for street.

Can I use intermediary ? A little of both ?

Hi Guys.

Question about Rear Suspension Balance Tray Bushing

Check this video.

https://youtube.com/shorts/4h76SN0oc9c?feature=share

My mechanic is saying that the item that I bought could be wrong =

https://www.mercadolivre.com.br/kit-...:MLB1683207889

He is saying that the one is already on the car, can move a bit and the one that I brought is rigid.

Can someone confirm if is this the right part ?
