Camaro Frame Dimensions & Checking

If your car doesn't sit right, won't align properly, or you suspect it's been bent up in an accident you should measure the car. You check the car by measuring the following dimensions on the figure below and comparing them to the opposite side of the car, along with the factory spec from the below table.

There's an additional dimensional view of a 1972 chassis located here.
