Reply to "Wheel Alignment spec"

+1 on BossWrench's comments.

IN ADDITION I have found that FOR ME the old specs do not work with the new tires well.

For instance, I have had to dial in negative camber in order to get the wear pattern even across the tread. The traction tends to agree with the wear patterns in my experience.

Instead of using the -1/2 to -3/4 degree camber in several cases I would up with -1 to -1.5. That is quite a change.

This is really reminding me of my autocross days when the car was always being screwed with on the alignment rack.


My Taurus SHO just to set the front tread flat wound up at -2.5.

If you look at the car from the front it looks like an old Mustang with busted upper ball joints BUT that's where the tread rides flat.
