The C6 cradle is moved back in a C6 Chassis... so the location of the lower control arm mounts on the cradle, relative to the alignment pegs on the cradle, is the same for a C5 and C6, which means the LCA geometry does not have to change, and that a C6 cradle, if put in a C5, doesn't move the wheel.

The upper control arms have the ball joint hole moved backwards, given the C6 a longer wheelbase. Swap C6 UCAs into a C5 and the wheel WILL move backwards.
