Toe-In (Corvette Rear)

Rear wheel toe-in angle is adjusted through use of variable thickness shims inserted between torque arm and frame side member web at forward pivoting joint. Shims are slotted to slide over bushing pivot bolt on either side. To adjust, loosen pivot bolt, shim outboard gap as necessary to obtain solid stack-up between outer end of torque arm bushing and inner wall of frame side member, and when adding shims to inner side of control arm do not use thicker shim than necessary or force insertion of shim as this may cause toe-in setting to change. After shims are securely installed, tighten pivot bolt.
