Rear Suspension Geometry is Adjustable
I noticed something very interesting in the service manual for the Z. In the rear suspension section they provide methods and specs for adjusting rear toe and camber !!!
This is pretty nice for those of you racing or wanting to lower the suspension. Makes me also wonder about the tire feathering and whether dealers are checking the rear wheel alignment as well.
The front suspension says that only the toe is adjustable. However you have to wonder what effect the strut bar on the front has on the camber? What if on some cars the strut bar is dialed out a little longer or shorter by mistake? There is some specs on the service manual for checking this as well, but I have yet to see anyone get their dealer to look at it.
Check out the rear suspension section in the service manual for the goods.
