Corvette Rear Adjustable Strut Rods 1963-1982 #TBC-7

Corvettes from 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, and 1982 all use rear strut rods to adjust camber.

What is camber?

The camber is the tilt of the tire in or out of the fender. An eccentric cam controls the alignment and is positioned under the rear end. Unfortunately, when the alignment goes out in the rear, it generally is due to the cam slipping. When the cam slips, both camber and toe are affected. The tire begins to wear on the inside edge plus the car may begin to drift.

Global West builds replacement strut rods and a lock out plates that replace the eccentric and the strut rod. The plates index in the rear end bracket and lock the strut rod into location. The strut rod adjusts like a turnbuckle setting the camber. The advantages of using Global West adjustable strut rods are: more available camber adjustment and no chance of slipping.

Note: Global West uses high quality rod ends in their kits. These units are Teflon lined, so they will not make noise.
