    Glad you got it straight…my Z06 was built right in the middle of the “valve spring” problem window…the older the car and I got the more I was worried about the problem. I’m perfectly capable of doing the job…but given my advancing age and waning patience levels I for first time since I bought the car new in 2002 I sent it out to a Corvette specialist in my area…The car was gone two days…they did a beautiful job…the reason I sent it out was as you showed us shit happens to everyone no matter the experience level.

  • @cambr-us

    wouldnt it still be possible for it to be aligned but the wheels still be like this / / ? front and back would have the same distance, but how do you get it to not be crab walking

    • @bernierubbersgarage6066
      @bernierubbersgarage6066 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, but in this certain case I knew the drivers side was a good measurement so I only had to adjust the passenger side. That being said, you would do a string alignment by running a string from the rear to the front. One full turn of the toe arm produces a noticeable movement so the string alignment would get the wheels straight, then the toe plates would give you the refinement you would need.

    Ok..on all videos I've seen..no one ever shows what position that the air is on when putting the mode actuator on..I notice on the mode actuator there are 3 markings..and the new one set in the middle. So then..what do you turn the air on..(vent, floor, defrost) before you plug the actuator in..

      I think I know what you mean and if I'm remembering right, I had a hard time with that too. I don't remember what setting I had to have to get everything aligned correctly, but there was a lot of trial and error. It was a PITA 😅

    • @the_truck_farmer
      @the_truck_farmer ปีที่แล้ว

      I've been digging for the last 24 hrs for info to put mine back together. I removed the actuator off the cam and the cam off the blower box so all my alignment is screwed up...Anyways I saw another video where a guy installed a brand new delco actuator with cam and he said you need the mode set to "face vents" for it to be properly calibrated when you plug in the new actuator out of the box...

    • @scottbeavers1713
