4-wheel alignment specs
« on: December 15, 2008, 04:45:32 AM »
I have bilstein/h&r sports and I have fixed camber plates in the front. Will any normal suspension place be able to align this or should I tell them what to spec it to? If so what specs should I tell them to align it to?

I also have Tree House Racing FCAB's too and polyurethane RTABS.

Thanks

Tell them to set the toe, nothing else is adjustable

This is correct, but by attaching their equipment on all four wheels. They can assure that it tracks correct. That is drives straight when the steering wheel is set to straight. You could unscrew the steering wheel and correct if nessesary but i'd rather let the guy do his job, instead of micromanaging his tasks. They usually know what they are doing.

Also if you have some damages to your car that off-sets a rear wheel. That you were not aware of. This would also show up on his report. This is valuable i think.

So only toe is adjustable?? What should I have them set it to?

Yea I definitely would like to know that everything is straight and correct.

Thanks
