I have a 84 Camaro z28 and. The car is a dollar right now but the rear end is not aligning with the wheel well it from the front of the quarter panel to center of wheel is 5 inches but from rear bumper to center of wheel is 3 inches. How do you adjust that with stock control arms

 

Did you measure both sides? You can't adjust anything with stock parts

 

yes I have they are the same on both sides. So get adjustable control arms?

 

Chassis should be square, and axle situated square to the chassis (control arm mounting points) if you want the car to drive well. The optics of where tire sits in wheel arch is less important.

Key dimensions of body are on page 1707 of the 1988 Firebird service manual found in this thread, https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/tech...ce-manual.html

 

I'll start by asking, does this statement "The car is a dollar right now" actually mean "The car is a roller right now", meaning it has no engine & transmission in it?

If yes, when the proper weight isn't being applied to the suspension, all kinds of weird things may be seen.........
