I just put new tires on my truck and want to do an Alignment. My machine at work only goes back to 1997. Does anyone have the align. spec.s or a link to them? My haynes book doesn't list them either.

Thanks

A shop with a good alignment machine has the specs you need....... How can someone have a machine that only goes back to 97!? Thats wrong. Even if its a dealership. (who usually doesnt have anything on before 97 vehicles)

A good setting to minimize tire wear is 0 degrees camber and +4.7 is the desired caster with a 1 degree split max.I shoot for 0 degree split toe is 1/16th in allowable 1/16th to 3/16th in.

We are a dealer........ for the other brand! I guess they didn't feel the need to pay for the software to go back that far.
Thanks Barnym
