LUBRICATION 0-16
Every 12,000 miles (more frequently*, depending on
severity of service, if vehicle is used to pull trailers,
carry full loads during high ambient temperatures,
operate in mountainous terrain or operate under other
severe conditions--Remove fluid from the transmission
sump and add one and a half quarts of fresh fluid for
Camaro and Chevy II and two quarts for Chevrolet,
Chevelle, and Corvette. Operate transmission through all
ranges and check fluid level as described above.
•Except if vehicle is equipped with transmission pro-
vided in heavy duty service options. If so equipped,
drain converter and pump every 12,000 miles and add
approximately seven and a half quarts of fresh fluid
for Chevy II and nine quarts for Chevrolet and Chevelle.
TURBO HYDRA-MATIC
Lubrication. recommendations for the Turbo Hydra-
Matic are the same as outlined for the Powerglide
transmission except for fluid capacity and filter change
listed below.
After checking transmission fluid level it is important
that the dip stick be pushed all the way into the fill tube.
Every 12,000 miles — after removing fluid from the
transmission sump, approximately 7 1/2 pints of fresh
fluid will be required to return level to proper mark on
the dip stick.
Every 24,000 miles, or at every other fluid change--
the transmission sump strainer should be replaced.
FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS
It is necessary to remove the wheel and hub assembly
to lubricate the bearings. The bearing assemblies should
be cleaned before repacking with lubricant. Do not pack
the hub between the inner and outer bearing assemblies
or the hub caps, as this excessive lubrication results in
the lubricant working out into the brake drums and
linings.
Front wheels of all passenger car models are equipped
with tapered roller bearings and should be packed with a
high melting point water resistant front wheel bearing
lubricant whenever wheel and hub are removed.
CAUTION: "Long fibre" or "viscous" type
lubricant should not be used. Do not mix wheel
bearing lubricants. Be sure to thoroughly clean
bearings and hubs of all old lubricant before
repacking.
The proper adjustment of front wheel bearings is one
of the important service operations- that has a definite
bearing on safety. A car with improperly adjusted front
wheel bearings lacks steering stability, has a tendency to
wander or shimmy and may have increased tire wear.
The adjustment of these bearings is very critical. The
procedure is covered in Section 3 of this manual under
Front Wheel Bearings—Adjust,
MANUAL STEERING GEAR
Check lubricant level every 36,000 miles. If required,
add EP Chassis Lubricant.
POWER STEERING
On models equipped with power steering gear, check
fluid at operating temperature in pump reservoir. Add
GM Power Steering Fluid, or, if this is not available, use
Automatic Transmission Fluid "Type A" bearing the
mark AQ-ATF followed by a number and the suffix letter
'A'
to bring level to full mark on dip stick.
AIR CONDITIONING
After the first 6,000 miles, check all hose clamp
connections for proper tightness.
Every 6,000 miles check sight glass under the hood,
after the system has been in operation for several
minutes. Sight glass should be clear but may, during
milder weather, show traces of bubbles. Foam or dirt
indicate a leak which should be repaired immediately.
BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER
Check level every 6,000 miles and maintain 1/4" below
lowest edge of each filler opening with GM Hydraulic
Brake Fluid Supreme No. 11.
PARKING BRAKE
Every 6,000 miles, apply water resistant lube to park-
ing brake cable, cable guides and at all operating links
and levers.
CLUTCH CROSS-SHAFT
Periodic lubrication of the clutch cross shaft is not
required. At 36,000 miles or sooner, if necessary;
remove plug, install lube fitting and apply CHASSIS
LUBRICANT.
CHASSIS LUBRICATION
For chassis lubrication, consult the lubrication chart.
It shows the points to be lubricated and how often the
lubricant should be applied.
The term "chassis lubricant" as used in this manual,
describes a water resistant EP chassis grease designed
for application by commercial pressure gun equipment.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 1967 Chevrolet, Chevelle, Camaro, Chevy n and
Corvette front suspension systems are basically similar,
being of the
S.L.A.
(short-long arm) type with independent
coil springs. In the Chevrolet, Chevelle, Camaro and
Corvette the springs ride on the lower control arms; in
the Chevy II the springs ride on the upper control arms.
Spherical joints connect the upper and lower arms to the
steering knuckle. Tapered roller wheel bearings are
used.
Camber angle is adjusted, on the Chevrolet and Chevy n

by means of a lower control arm inner pivot cam; on the
Chevelle, Camaro and Corvette by means of upper control
arm inner support shaft shims.
Caster angle is adjusted, on the Chevrolet and Chevy n
by means of a strut rod which runs from the lower con-
trol arm forward to a frame brace; on the Chevelle,
Camaro and Corvette by means of upper control arm
inner support shaft shims.
A stabilizer bar is used on all Chevelle and Corvette
models. Chevrolet Impalas, station wagons and V-8
engine equipped models are fitted with the stabilizer bar.

MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS
Maintenance intervals recommended for lubrication of
front suspension components have been fully covered in
Section 0 of this manual. Only actual adjustment proce-
dures will be covered here.
NOTE:
Unless otherwise indicated all proce-
dures will apply to all five vehicles covered in
this manual.
FRONT WHEEL BEARING ADJUSTMENT
Proper front wheel bearing adjustment has a definite
bearing on the safe operation of a vehicle. Improperly
adjusted front wheel bearings will result in a lack of
steering stability causing wheel wander, shimmy and ex-
cessive tire wear. Very accurate adjustment is possible
because the spindles are drilled both vertically and hori-
zontally and the adjusting nuts are slotted in all six sides.
NOTE:
Wheel bearings should not
be.
repacked
or adjusted as a part of "New Car Conditioning".
1.
With wheel raised, remove hub cap and dust cap and
then remove the cotter pin from the end of the
spindle.
2.
While rotating wheel, tighten spindle nut to 12 lbs. ft
torque.
3.
Back off adjusting nut one flat and insert cotter pin.
If slot and pin hole do not line up, back off the adjust-
ing nut an additional 1/2 flat or less as required to
insert cotter pin.
4.
Spin the wheel to check that it rolls freely and then
lock the cotter pin by spreading the end and bending
it around.
NOTE:
Bearings should have zero preload and
.001"
to .008" end movement when properly ad-
justed on Chevrolet, Chevelle, Camaro and Cor-
vette; .000" to .004" on Chevy H.
5.
Install dust cap, hub cap or wheel disc and lower
wheel.
6. Perform the same operation on each front wheel.
CHEVROLET CHASSIS SERVICE MANUAL
FRONT SUSPENSION 3-5
FRONT END ALIGNMENT
Front end alignment, that is alignment of the inter-
related steering components of the front suspension sys-
tem, must be correctly maintained to assure ease and
stability of steering and satisfactory tire life.
Alignment Preliminary Steps
Several different types of machines are available for
checking all the factors of front end alignment. The in-
structions furnished with each particular machine should
be followed. In all cases, however, checks should be
made with the vehicle level and at curb weight.
Since steering complaints are not always the result of
improper alignment a check should be made to see if any
of the following conditions exist. Any such conditions
should be corrected before proceeding further.
1.
Steering gear loose or improperly adjusted.
2.
Steering gear housing loose at frame.
3.
Excessive wear or play in spherical joints or steer-
ing shaft coupling.
4.
Tie rod or steering connections loose.
5.
Improper front spring heights.
6. Unbalanced or underinflated tires.
7.
Improperly adjusted wheel bearings.
8. Shock absorbers not operating properly.
Wheel alignment should always be made with the vehi-
cle rolled forward taking out any slack in the same man-
ner as when the vehicle is traveling forward.
Caster and Camber Adjustment
NOTE: Before adjusting caster and camber
angles, the front bumper should be raised and
quickly released to allow car to return to its
normal height.
Chevelle, Camaro and Corvette
Caster and camber adjustments are made by means of
shims inserted between the upper control arm inner sup-
port shaft and the support bracket attached to the frame
(fig. 6). Shims may be added, subtracted or transferred
to change the readings as follows:
Fig.
6 - Caster and Camber Adjustment - Chevelle
Typical of Corvette and Camaro
Caster - change shims at either the front or rear of
the shaft.
The addition of shims at the front bolt or removal
of shims at the rear bolt will decrease positive
caster. One shim (1/3 2") will change caster (ap-
prox.) 1/4°.
Camber - change shims at both the front and rear of
the shaft.
Adding an equal number of shims at both front and
rear of the support shaft will decrease positive cam-
ber. One shim (1/32") at each location will move
camber (approx.) 1/5° (Chevelle and Camaro); 1/6°
(Corvette).

CHEVROLET CHASSIS SERVICE MANUAL
FRONT SUSPENSION 3-6
Fig.
8 - Caster and Camber Adjustments - Chevy
To adjust for caster and camber, loosen the upper sup-
port shaft to crossmember nuts, add or subtract shims as
required and retighten nuts.
NOTE:
Caster and camber can be adjusted in
one operation.
Caster and camber specifications will be found in the
last section of this book.
Chevrolet and Chevy II
The caster angle is adjusted by turning the two niits at
the front of the lower control arm strut rod (figs. 7 and
8).
Shortening this rod will increase caster. Lengthen-
ing will decrease caster.
Camber angle is adjusted by loosening the lower con-
trol arm pivot bolt and rotating the cam located on this
pivot. This eccentric cam action will move lower control
arm in or out, thereby varying camber.
Steering Axis Inclination Adjustment
"Camber" is the outward tilt of the wheel and "steering
axis inclination" is the inward tilt of the knuckle. Cam-
ber cannot be changed without changing steering axis
inclination. Correct specifications willbe found at the
end of this section. If, with the camber correctly ad-
justed, the steering axis inclination does not fall within
the specified limits the knuckle is bent and should be
replaced.
If a new knuckle is installed, caster, camber and toe-in
must be readjusted.
Toe-In Adjustment
Toe-in, the inward pointing of both front wheels, is
checked with the wheels in the straight ahead position. It
is the difference of the distance measured between the
extreme front and the distance measured between the ex-
treme rear of both front wheels. Correct toe-in specifi-
cations will be found at the end of this section.
NOTE:
Toe-in must be adjusted after caster
and camber adjustment.
A. If the equipment being used measures the toe-in of
each wheel individually:
1.
Set the steering gear on the high point, mark 12
o'clock position on the steering shaft and position
the steering wheel for straight ahead driving.
2.
Loosen the clamp bolt at each end of each tie rod
and adjust to the total toe-in as given in the speci-
fications at the end of this book.
B.
If a tram gauge is being used, proceed as follows:
1.
Set the front wheels in the straight ahead position.
2.
Loosen the clamp bolts on one tie rod and adjust
for the proper toe-in as given in the specifications
at the end of this book.
3.
Loosen the clamp bolts on the other tie rod. Turn
both rods the same amount and in the same direc-
tion to place the steering gear on its high point and
position the steering wheel in its straight ahead
position.
C.
After the adjustment has been made:
1.
a. Chevrolet—Position inner tie rod clamp bosses
forward to 90° down to avoid stabilizer link bolt
interference.
b.
Chevelle—Position the tie rod clamp bosses
down to 45?° forward to avoid interference.
c. Chevy II--Position the outer tie rod clamp
bosses forward and not more than 45° up or
down from horizontal to avoid interference.
Inner clamps forward and vertical.
d. Corvette--Position inner tie rod clamps with
bolt horizontal and down. Position outer clamps
with bolt vertical and to the rear.
e. Camaro—Position inner tie rod clamps with
open end of clamp and slot in line. Position
relative to ground unimportant. Position outer
clamps with bolt top and 30° either side of ver-
tical. Position relative to slot unimportant.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
All 1967 models are equipped with a new split brake
system as a safety feature. If a wheel cylinder or brake
line should fail at either the front end or rear end of
the vehicle, the operator can still bring the vehicle to
a controlled stop. The system is designed with separate
hydraulic systems for the front and rear brake using
a dual master cylinder (fig. 1). The design of the master
cylinder is similar to that used on the 1966 Corvette
in that it has two entirely separate reservoirs and outlets
in a common body casting. The front reservoir and outlet
is connected to the front wheel brakes, and the rear
reservoir and outlet is connected to the rear wheel
brakes. Two pistons within the master cylinder receive
mechanical pressure from the brake pedal push rod and
transmit it through the brake lines as hydraulic pressure
to the wheel cylinders. The filler cap is accessible from
inside the engine compartment.
A new brake pipe distribution and switch assembly
is mounted below the main cylinder. The front and rear
hydraulic brake lines are routed from the main cylinder,
through the brake pipe distribution and switch assembly,
to the front and rear brakes as shown in Figure 2. The
switch is wired electrically to the brake alarm indicator
light on the instrument panel. In the event of fluid loss
in either the front or rear brake system the indicator
on the instrument panel will illuminate red. (The indi-
cator will also' be illuminated when the parking brake is
applied.)
On Camaro models equipped with air conditioning, the
rear brake hydraulic line is routed through a pressure
regulator valve mounted on the left frame side rail
(fig. 3). The valve controls the hydraulic pressure to
the rear brakes resulting in the correct pressure balance
between the front and rear hydraulic systems.
The self-adjusting brakes (fig. 4), used on both front
and rear of all models, are the Duo-Servo single anchor
type which utilize the momentum of the vehicle to assist
in the brake application. The self-energizing or
self-
actuating force is applied to both brake shoes at each
wheel in both forward and reverse motion. The brake
shoe linings are bonded to the shoes.
Wheel cylinders are the double piston type permitting
even distribution of pressure to each brake shoe. To
keep out dust and moisture, both ejads of each wheel
cylinder are sealed with a rubber booC The wheel
cylinders have no adjustments.
The Chevrolet, Chevelle, and Camaro parking brakes
have a foot operated ratchet type pedal mounted to the
left of the steering column. A cable assembly connects
the pedal to an intermediate cable by means of an equal-
izer, where the adjustment for the parking brake is
incorporated. The intermediate cable attaches to the
