    I'm reading the GT-6 restoration article (March 2010) and I'm trying to figure out how the Allen screws on the rear A-arms (p 102) allowed the adjustments alluded to in the article.

    Did they push against the bolt and give a couple degrees of camber or toe? Or is it locking an eccentric? I'm fairly mechanically competent but this has me puzzled. Which most likely is the object of the exercise.

    By comparison, I can see how the adjuster on the rear leaf spring works...

    I was trying to figure out the same thing. My guess is locking the eccentric bushing. The leaf spring trick is cool.

    Or perhaps is the Allen bolt locking a spherical bearing ?
