Does a 2012 Silverado control arm hold the camber plate pins?

Always mark things before taking apart so you have the correct place to start from.

What usually happens is during alinment if the you try to do the adjustment with vehicle weight on the turn plates it puts ton much stress on them and they fall out. Need to lift the front axle to do the adjustments. If they will not stay in I have brazed them from the back, or you could MIG weld them, just have grind down the excess if it interferes.

Those pins are just there to be able to adjust caster/camber adjustments without them alignment techs complain about not being able to adjust properly but for some of us that’s been doing alignment for years know the tricks to adjust them without those pins. Once adjusted as long as the control arm bolts are tightened properly it won’t move regardless of where the eccentric is.

What John McClellan said. We’ve had success with (when the pins were VERY loose) installing the pins and taking the MIG welder and tacking them. May have to smooth out the area where tack welded prior to installing the control arm.

All The Best For Success.
