I've just replaced my track rod ends, does anyone have the tracking (and general alignment) settings in case my local tyre centre does not?

Thanks

Simon

These are the factory recommended setting from the Steve Heath bible.

Front & Rear track 20 minutes total toe in
Front & rear camber 1/2 to 1 deg negative (Optimum 3/4 deg)

The factory recommended caster angle from Pro-Align.
Front Caster 3 deg 45 mins to 4 deg 25 mins (Optimum 4 deg 5 mins)


Here's the factory recommended settings copied and pasted from the factory spider wheel conversion document dated July 2003.

Front & rear camber 0.75 to 1.25° negative, as equal as possible side to side
Front tracking (toe) 10 to 20 minutes TOTAL ACROSS AXLE (5 to 10 minutes each wheel)
Rear tracking (toe) 4 to 6 minutes EACH WHEEL (as equal as possible side to side)
Front castor 4.75 to 5.25° Positive (more important that each side is within 0.5° of the other)


I realize everyone will have their own ideas and tweaked settings therefore please note these are copied from the various sources and are not my settings, suggestions or opinion.
Good Luck, Steve
