Saul_Good Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 steve: i didnt really get to open it up on the way home. but it did handle fine. i guess it got worse or something along the line. i am uncertain though. i am guessing and judging by the numbers on the attachment, is based on the toe that i had. the way the tech described to me was when i was cornering the toe was just messing me all up. i am not all that pressed about the camber now that eveyone has described taht it is normal. but the toe that i had i guess was pretty bad. Front left 0.14toe front right 0.13 rear left 0.20 toe rear right 0.20 i had a total toe of 0.27 deg. on the front and 0.40 deg on the rear. so i guess that is where my prob was. new numbers are FRONT cross camber -0.04 cross caster 0.26 cross SAI -0.61 total toe 0.08 REAR cross camber 0.27 total toe 0.01 thrust angle 0.01 i checked everything on the car. i checked the struts tire pressure got up underneath it and check. i know it would be hard to spot a harline bend but i was willing to get up underneath it and look so i satisfied myslef. but she made a remarkable change. she handles really nice now. i got to open her up a few times around corners and i think i just need some road gripping tires now to accomodate my needs now. Shawn, As far as your numbers are concerned I don't think you have enough camber in the front and the rear is a bit on the positive side, when it should be toward the negative(IMO). Your front&rear toe is fine. Someone proof me on this just to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caramall2 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 So stock may be around -0.1 deg, most here are suggesting -1.0 deg? Wanted to make sure I had the decimals right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Rebo Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 If the spec is -0.1°, then it may as well be 0.0°. There isn't any appreciable difference. caramall2 -- Yes, you want -1.0°. It's a good (mild) setting that won't result in any uneven tread wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggert Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 i'd go with max negative camber up front, equal on both sides and 0 toe all around. fwiw my car, which is a daily driver/commuter/tow vehicle, has -1.7 degrees of camber up front and is still wearing the outer edges of the tires faster than the inside ones.

You must carve up those corners, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
