Hi there,
Has anyone got an official set of full geometry settings for the Chimaera please. My car is going for alignment. Mine is a 1997 450 if there are differences across the years.

I have the following from Steve Parker's pages:

Front suspension:
Toe in/out: +20' (toe in)
Camber: -30' to -1deg
Caster: 4deg

Rear suspension:
Toe in/out: +10' (toe in) or +20' (ref Steve Heath's book)
Camber: -30' to -1deg

However, I have also seen camber quoted as 3/4degree (persumably 45')

Many thanks.

Those settings above are correct

Thanks.
Do you know which of them are correct (i.e the camber and rear toe in/out settings above) ?

Or is there little difference between them handling-wise ?

they will probably have the settings at the garage but take those with you just in case
