Both leads did not pan out. I'm looking for C-5 parts 97-04. Both leads only go up to 1996.

Still looking...
Thanks,
Mike

Yep, no off the shelf options exist. Been down that road. One guy on here made a few. I cut and re-welded the UCA mounts.
I also added some anti-dive. My numbers now are:


7.5 caster
1.15 camber
1/16 toe
Had a wide range of options up to 3 of camber and 9+ of caster.

Aluminum on finished car is riveted and bonded. Otherwise moving mounts is the way to go.

Didn't stop me!
But... Will make your wheels move towards the rear of the car... I'm guessing you are looking for caster?

Yes, need some caster. The aluminum would be destroyed removing. Something for guys to think about when selecting an adhesive for their aluminum.

This is for Troy's car. Going for 200 this March and he wants to stabilize a bit.

That's a great reason to get some more caster!
