suspension question
#21
Thats exactly my problem. Rick has different bolts for 70-79 than the 80-81. I need the correct upper control arm mount bolts.
#22
I have an 80 and a 78. They look the same to me. They have the star deal on them to grab the metal. That is on there because you can't really reach the head to hold it while tightening. Aftermarket upper arms allow access to this area, so I just used 1/2-13 bolts. Other things with my car make my unique so I can't give you a proper length. Namely the cowl braces, they use the control arm bolts to mount.

anyone identify this rear end?..
bought a set of 15x6 rallys and they are 5x4.75 and when i got home to test fit them..turns out my bolt pattern is 5x5..front is also 5x5..
so how does a 2nd gen camaro clip end up with 5x5 bolt pattern..

The rearend looks like a 8.5 GM 10 bolt, but the disc brake setup looks like S10, which is 5x5 bolt pattern in later S10's. I'd guess the front rotors were swapped from an S10, or redrilled for the 5x5 to match the rear.

I didn't know later S10 were 5 on 5. Thats new. I do know they had aluminum calipers and that one looks iron. I would like to see how its mounted. If its not to much trouble, could you upload them to photobucket and then put them on here. They will be bigger and then we can get a better look. If I click on the pics right now, the pic is only about 3x23 in the center of the screen.

here is a picture of the front rotor and caliper..

i am way off here...was able to get ahold of the guy that actually did the work on this thing...turns out the guy who sold it to me was off a little...from what i am being told now it's a caddy stub up front and the rear end is caddy also..

That makes sense, as Caddy's were also 5x5.
Yeah Damon, when they changed from the square boxy S10 to the next style, they also went 5x5 bolt pattern. My buddy has one and I was shocked to find out they'd gone to the large pattern. Not sure why, but I'd bet they interchange with something else, and it saved them money!
