Hi Guys

I finally had my wheel alignment done after replacing my rear suspension arms a few months ago. The front end alignment was done about 6 months ago when I had the front arms replaced and I was very happy with the result. I haven't done that much mileage since the rear replacement which I did, but thought I should get on to it, as I just measured the rear tie rods at the time and transferred the measurement to the new ones as I mounted them.

Anyway they used a fancy computerized system and used the settings that the computer advised as correct. Looking at the before and after results I see the front wheels have a toe in setting of -1.3 before and after while the rears have now been set to 2.5. Prior to setting they were at 4.5 left and 4.7 right.

The only alignment settings I can find, seem to recommend 4.5 as the correct rear toe-in and also recommend a plus setting on the fronts. Does anyone care to offer some advice?

Thanks in advance,

Graeme

Thanks

looks like my memory has had it.

Turns out it toe is actually set to Front: -1.3 and Rear: +1.6

So should they both be negative values i.e. - toe out?
