O.T.99 Lumina rear wheel alignment

IA Roy · Jan 7, 2014

I had a little body damage and the trailing arm mount isn't in quite the same location as it was 14 years ago. It must be a little too far ahead as the car wants to pull left. Is there adjustment in the pivoting arms that come out from the center of the body? I tried to research some, but didn't find a clear answer.

Probably have to BEND parts to get alignment back "in spec".

Any shop that does 4-wheel alignments should be able to tell you.

It has been awhile, but I believe the front control arms have a slot to move them in and out, changing the toe. A real PIA.

Do a search for "align rear suspension W body"
W body forum has some info. It has been a long time but I think you can adjust camber and toe.
Track bar and tailing arms do rust apart on those.

If the mounting position for the trailing arm has moved, then you'll never get her back in correct alignment without pulling and stretching the body back to specs. I suppose you could try to fabricate an adjustable trailing arm. I've seen a lot of those trailing arms bent by errant floor jacks.
Good Luck and God Bless
