Wheel align settings

by **DrivesLikeJehu** » Sat Jul 30, 2011 11:00 am

Just had poly bushes fitted to front LCAs and a wheel align. (Had to buy locally due to time constraints. Two broken wheel studs had to be fixed immediately.)
I'm curious to know what settings everyone else is using. Does anyone have their alignment printout handy ?
Mine came back 7.02 caster, -1.1camber (all they could get, apparently. I wanted 1.5 - 2). Rear camber -1.
(Running billies with STI pinks, poly LCA rear bushes. Everything else stock ATM).

Wow. Maybe wheel alignment settings are like Grandma's famous apple pie recipe ? (A closely guarded secret?)

Toe to 0.00 all round will help with less tyre wear.
I agree with you wanting to get -1.5 out of the front, but your not far off, so see how it goes.
Did they say the bolts are maxed out?

I don't have any apple pie recipes either.
Actually, I don't think nan ever made me an apple pie.

0.00 toe all around. Maximum caster set using Whiteline bushes. -1.5deg camber per side for front, -0.5deg camber per side for rear (whiteline kit).

I had -1.5 on the rear originally but -0.5 made it feel more lively.

basically as said above
0 toe all round
maxxed front camber at -1.4
and rear camber set at -0.9 (fixed from factory)

when i bought the car it had 3mm toe-in PER SIDE on the front
and 1mm per side on the rear. last aligner should have been shot

For my driving I've set -1.0mm toe in on the fronts, -0.3mm toe in on the rear, and I have -1.4degrees camber on the fronts and due to my naffed rear suspension I have the same camber on the rear. I can't remember my castor.

TeK, what did the whiteline castor and rear camber kits knock you back if you don't mind me asking??

Thanks for the feedback guys. Sorry I was slow to acknowledge. (Back in Orspital with the pancreas again. Groan). Might chase a touch more camber, once a I get a chance to have a proper drive.
Keep 'em coming, tho' !
