Alignment specs for 99 4x4
Alignment specs for 99 4x4
I did a search for alignment specs, and all got were specs for Lightnings. I'm guessing they're somewhat different than 4x4's or just regular 150's.
Could someone please post them or direct me to them. My Chilton manual doesn't have them. I want to have these on file for a possible future alignment someday. Thanks.

Sorry about the porr formatting.... it doesn't copy and paste well....
