Front and Rear Alignment Specs
After replacing practically EVERYTHING on the underside of my car, I STILL have that damned vibration between 45 and 50 mph. I believe it's because the rear alignment has never been done properly. I doubt the shims have ever been out before I removed them. Anyway, I spoke to the guy that will do the alignment today and he said if I provide exact specs, he will spend the time to get it right where I want it. He seemed encouraged by the fact that I had just gone through everything. Anyway, what is the best setting for all the adjustments both front and rear? The car will be used for regular highway driving.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Re: Front and Rear Alignment Specs (gkull)
Thanks gkull!
Wow - those setting are way away from the stock GM recommendations.
I take it these work better than the factory ones? Are these similar to the Vette Brakes settings that the others talk about?
Thanks!

I arrived at my specs with tire temp gauge at Auto-X and having to comprimize for the street. I tried driving around with a toe out condition and squirley would be the best discription.
The vette brakes and products book for C-3 specs for street are:
castor 2.75
camber 0 deg neg
toe in 1/32
toe rear 1/8
camber 0 deg neg
Advanced street
castor 2.75
camber .25 deg neg
toe 0.0
rear toe in 1/8
camber .50 deg neg
track baseline
caster 2.75
camber 1-2 neg
toe out 0-1/16th
rear toe in 1/8
camber .75 1.5 neg
