I know this has been answered a thousand times in the past but,I need alignment specs for my car before tomorrow morning.It is a Pre-L with 245/40/17 front 335/35/17 rear tires.It has rubber control arm bushings,is lowered(adjustable Koni shocks and springs from Pantera Performance)and has a bump steer kit added.It has a larger rear sway bar with sphere-ball bushings front and back.Otherwise the suspention is stock.It is used mostly for street driving(HARD!)and occasional track time at Pocono.Please help! I have an appointment in the morning.

Briefly, you need 1/16" toe front & back, all the caster you can get (frt only) and about 1/8" camber frt/back. The frt camber you'll get will be about 2-1/2 degrees max, which for a fat-tire car, is about 1/2 what you need, but without offset bushings, some machining etc, no Pantera will have near-enough. Rear camber due to body/frame/suspension collapse, will probably be more than specified; short of some adjustments to the camber bar in back by a Pantera-specialist chassis shop, that's what you'll be stuck with. Fat-tire cars tend to 'wagon-track', or catch road irregularities and jerk around as the tire follows them, and Pat Mical in MA has a sepecific mod package he does to utterly transform your handling. Too much front toe will fix the jerking but wear out your outrageously-expensive big tires in short order.
