Front End Alignment Factory Settings

Would like to know where I can get the specs for a front end alignment.

1995 Mazda B4000 2wd

Had it aligned 2 months ago and the tires are wearing from the outside in...across 3 rows of tread already!

Want to be armed with the specs to make sure the shop has the right settings for my truck.

If it were my truck, I'd take it back to the place that did the alignment a complain. Softly at first and if that doesn't get some results, then complain loudly.

I would take it back to the shop for sure. There is no excuse for doing an alignment wrong

Are you sure that you don't have component wear problems? If the various ball joints are worn out, all the alignments in the world won't help.
