    I'm reading the GT-6 restoration article (CMS March 2010) and I'm trying to figure out how the Allen screws on the rear A-arms (p 102) allowed the adjustments alluded to in the article.

    Did they push against the bolt and give a couple degrees of camber or toe? Or is it locking an eccentric? I'm fairly mechanically competent but this has me puzzled. Which most likely is the object of the exercise.

    By comparison, I can see how the adjuster on the rear leaf spring works...

    crap, I wonder if my subscription to CMS ran out and I somehow forgot to renew grrrrrrrrr....

    And of course being a GT6 owner I'm especially interested in this.

    Are they doing some kind of custom IRS or something - because my GT6 certainly has no camber adjustment in the rear, that's for sure.

    This was an article about disassembly of an ex-Group 44 car and some of the trick stuff uncovered...and being careful when tearing E36 M3 apart, etc.,

    The article and picture shows it far better than I could...what's somewhat sobering is that the car was built during my senior year in high school...

    The good part is that it's the car being disassebled, not you. Taking things apart the right way is the first step in putting them back together in the right way.

    That's been a hard lesson learned.........

    Those bolts lock the eccentric bushings. Pretty simple, but pretty trick.
