c-4 negative camber

[Mike M.]

anybody know of a source for offset a-arm shafts that would allow for more negative camber in a c-4. Old Farm Use needs more --cording front tires at a terrible rate. have gone as far as i can with standard suspention technique to achive camber that's currently not negative enough.mike

I don't know of any source for such upper a-arm shafts. As a matter of fact, you could never even get the original shafts from GM as separate pieces. They were only available as part of the complete arm assemblies.

While Federal-Mogul/Moog does offer off-set shafts for 63-82 Corvettes, they don't offer them, or even standard replacement shafts, for C4 Corvettes.

If such parts are available, at all, I suspect a source like Doug Rippie Motorsports would have them or, at least, know where they are available. Unfortunately, I expect if they are available, they're going to be some high-dollar type, specialty racing parts which is probably not what you're looking for.

Mike:

Have you removed the "fat" washers in addition to the standard shims?

How much negative camber do you have? I removed all my alignment shims and got to about -1.0 degrees. You'll get much more negative camber by removing the fat washers. (It was not an allowable modification in my class.)

With BFG KD tires I got very even tire wear in many autocross events. Are you running a sticky (DOT or slick) tire?

Using the same tires, he would even the tire wear out real quick!

Mike, I am going to change the upper control arm bushings on my race car this winter to add some negative camber.

Re: c-4 negative camber

I guess that I should have added that these bushings will be offset bushings for this purpose.

Here's a link to offset lower control arm bushings:
