Alignment Spec Questions, another alignment thread Options

[John]

I have a few questions that some of you smart people out there might be kind enough to answer for me.

I am wondering how you convert angular toe-in (per factory specs) to inches of toe-in.

I could convert angles to inches if I knew where to measure. Is the toe-in measured at the rim, at the tread, at the sidewall?

Or am I reading the chart from the factory manuals incorrectly?

What are the "factory" settings for:

Front Caster
Front Camber
Front Toe

Rear Camber
Rear Toe


On another note, RIDE HEIGHT.........

The front ride height is measured as the DIFFERENCE between the center of the torsion bar and the center of the wheel rim.

How is the rear ride height supposed to be measured, and what is the 'spec'?????

Thanks for replying.

Stock camber is 0 degrees front, -1/2 degree rear. I think those were both +- 1/4 of a degree, or was it 1/2 degree?
Stock caster is 6 degrees, I believe.

Unsure of where the "inches" of toe is typically measured. But toe adjustments should be very small numbers...

Note that you can get a lot more traction in the curves with more negative camber than the stock settings.
