Alignment Specs
#5
@Victor>> Here's the specs that you requested. You can give this to your aligner if they don't have the specs of your car.
"FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT"
CAMBER
[PREFERRED:] -0.20°
[ACCEPTABLE:] -0.60° to +0.20°
Cross-Camber
(Maximum side-to-side difference)
[PREFERRED:] 0.00°
[ACCEPTABLE:] 0.50°
CASTER*
[PREFERRED:] +4.50°
[ACCEPTABLE:] +4.00° to +5.00°
Cross-Caster
(Maximum side-to-side difference)
[PREFERRED:] 0.00°
[ACCEPTABLE:] +1.00°
TOTAL TOE**
[PREFERRED:] 0.10°
[ACCEPTABLE:] -0.10° to +0.30°
(Maximum side-to-side difference)
[PREFERRED:] 0.00°
[ACCEPTABLE:] -0.06°
"REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT"
CAMBER
[PREFERRED:] -0.40°
[ACCEPTABLE:] -0.90° to +0.10°
Cross-Caster
(Maximum side-to-side difference)
[PREFERRED:] 0.00°
[ACCEPTABLE:] +0.50°
TOTAL TOE**
[PREFERRED:] 0.10°
[ACCEPTABLE:] -0.02° to +0.22°
THRUST ANGLE
[PREFERRED:] 0.00°
[ACCEPTABLE:] -0.20° to +0.20°
Notes:
* For reference only. These are non-adjustable angles.
** TOTAL TOE is the sum of both left and right wheel toe settings. TOTAL TOE must be equally split between
each front wheel to ensure the steering wheel is centered after setting toe. Positive toe is toe-in and negative toe
is toe-out

Thanks for the specs provided. This helps a lot when changing steering components like tie rods and racks. I set the toe just like the old school racers do... with string line and a good understanding of algebra. I've always have been within accept ranges when double checked at an alignment shop. I can check camber in my drive also but camber really doesn't change unless there is trauma to the car like an accident.
