Hi

Can some post the suspension setting details for me, I'm about to sort out the alignment.

I'm looking at the "bible" it quotes -

Front Track: 20 minutes toe in
Front Camber: 1/2 to 1 neg degree (ideal is 3/4 degree)
Rear Track: 20 minutes toes in
Rear Camber: 1/2 to 1 neg degree (ideal is 3/4 degree)

What measure is 20 minutes?

I'm obviously heard of time measurement but used in geometry setting before?

Cheers

spend

1 degree = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds

It's just a way of subdividing a degree when measuring angle. More commonly used these days are decimal degrees so be careful if the units are not stated.

e.g. you could see toe specified as 0.20, this would be 0.2 degrees or 12 minutes. If it is a positive number then it means toe in, negative would mean toe out.

I never knew that, seems quite obvious now.
