My L is down at the dealer as I write. The front end has had all of the junk done to it.(ie. cam bolts,lower control arms) THANKS TO YOU GUYS!!!! Who has some good numbers that I can give to them?

 

I'm not a mechanic, so I dunno much about it, but these are the ones I've found floating around the board as "good":

LH Caster 6.7
RH Caster 7.2
LH Camber -0.5
RH Camber -0.5
LH Toe -0.05
RH Toe -0.05

Had mine done yesterday also. The tech put it on the rack and went to get cam bolts and star washers before he did anything else. Man it's nice to find a tech that knows his business and takes pride in his work. I didn't think to get the specs he used but it tracks nice and straight.

I really don't know a whole lot about this stuff, so would someone please explain to me why the L and R hand caster settings are different? Just curious, that's all.

I think it has to do with weight on that wheel. I am not 100% sure and if this is wrong somebody show us the light.

 

If you drove on perfectly flat roads all the time the camber settings would be identical, but the great majority of roads are crowned so the rain will run off, so the stagger is to keep you tracking straight on a sloped road.
