hi

my brother has a 85 z28 that he is looking to rebuild. i was looking at it yesterday the drivers side tire is not center of the wheel well. and the other side is centered. what would cause the drivers side to be off like that? also is the control arm the same for all 3rd gens or different?

 

the arm is proabably bent from an impact, the arms are the same from 82-92 and are shared with many other GM cars and trucks.

 

if i change the arm and it still does not look right when what? i heared that g-body and s10 control arm are the same does anyone know if that is correct?

 

may also be alignment issue

 

It could be due to accident damage, both the frame could be bent or the fender could be displaced.

Check out the whole car for any wrinkling.

The G and T bodies use the same arm along with A bodies and a few others.

 

I would say you are wrong being as G and A bodies using uppers and lowers and we only have lowers that and their spindle are different

 

Yes but the lower control arms are the same part. Never said anything about any other part of the suspension, but the rotors and calipers are the same depending on the year and option package.


3rd gen

S10



G body

 

looks like it would throw off caster to me. Eh whatever I would make sure the parts work o just get one since they are cheap as heck for our cars

 

Besides the bit for limiting steering they're swappable.

 

No they are identical, the alignment will be the same and the steering stop is the same.

 

the top pic and the bottom pic are the same side, the middle pic is the other side. is that why you think it'll change caster? cause in those pics, the one ball joint is located differently?

 

so are the control arms the same i have a extra set from a g-body if they are.
