Corvette (Rear)

  1. Bearing end play is controlled by a solid tubular spacer and selected shims. To check end play, raise vehicle using care not to bend strut rods. Disengage lock bolt tabs and disconnect outboard end of axle drive shaft from wheel spindle flange.
  2. Mark camber cam relationship to bracket. Loosen and turn camber bolt until torque control arm is forced outward. Remove wheel and tire assembly. Mount dial indicator (J-8001) on torque control arm adjacent surface, resting pointer on flange or spindle end.
  3. Move brake disc in and out and check for 0.001 - 0.008" end play. If end play is greater than specification, reduce shim thickness. If no end play exists, add 0.003" shim to original shim and recheck end play.
