First, it has always bothered me when any front tire is slightly rearward of centered in its wheelwell. Especially on my 4th gen.
Then once I was nearly home, it made a clunk while backing out of a parking spot. I babied it home, and found a loose nut for the bolt holding the front of the left lower arm. Then I discovered the frame hole is slotted. Dumb. Looks like you must choose between tire centered, or proper negative camber.
Anyway, I pulled it all the way out, tightened it as far out as the slot allowed, replaced the wheel/tire, then began backing out of the driveway.
CLUNK!
Now I'm wondering if I missed something, or if something needs welded. I got the Prothane bushings but was hoping to return them.
If necessary, I will relocate the trailing ends of both lower arms to get camber with centered. I'm just angry to discover this is even necessary. I expected GM to get it right to begin with.
