New discovery day: what’s actually under the car
New discovery day. I finally got under the car.
- Springs are the base ones per the casting numbers 22146484/22146483
- Sway bars appear to be c6 z51 models. 25.1mm rear 31mm front 10339124
- Shocks look like they are stock c6 z06 shocks 10313647
While I was in there I nudged the front ride height up with the stock bolts. CW is raise, CCW is lower. With the weight out of the rear primarily from stripping, it was riding high and it will make getting into the driveway easier. The car looks amazing for a 25 year old car that lived in the rust belt all its life. I could swear it is a SW car. Only token surface rust in a couple places where water collects.
The front brakes have cooling ducts all the way to the back of the rotors.
I think the spacers are so the wagon wheels clear the brakes. I noticed the tire date while taking them off- 0816. eek. They aren’t cracking, but I need need tires stat.
I also discovered a power steering leak on the passenger side. It looks like there is damage to the boot on that side. I need to investigate if I can rebuild it.
Anyone ever fixed a leaky corvette rack?
