Hi all
Just want to ask you guys for suggestions on wheel alignment settings.
Hotchkis camber plates have a suggestion when using their product but don’t specify what wheels and suspension upgrades.
Their suggestion is the following:
1979-1993
Toe: 1/16" IN Total Toe
Camber: ½ Degrees Negative
Caster: 2 Degrees Positive
My set up is as followed:
Tires 245/45/17 on 17x9 wheels all 4
Eibach sportsline lowering springs
J&M tubular/polyurethane lower cell arms
Front lower control arm polyurethane bushings
Bilstein HD struts
Solid offset rack & pinion mushing
Polyurethane sway bar and end links bushings
Upgraded steering shaft with U-joints knuckle
And Hotchkis caster/camber plates with spherical bearings.
I’m not doing any hard cornering only open highway and city driving.
It should be ok with 1/16” Negative toe and 0.5 degrees negative camber. What about Caster?
Stock alignment with stock tires and suspension is:
Toe: 0.12 Inches negative
Camber: 0.60 Degrees negative
Caster: 1.90 Degrees positive
Steering axis inclination: 15.72 Degrees
Opinions/suggestions?
Thank you
