Default 4 wheel alignment: One More Time

The Pep Boys debacle still annoys me. I found that one of the Chevy dealer service dept.'s has a Hunter machine (I think they said model T-1011???) and they claim their alignment guy is very experienced with Corvettes and F-bodies. Quoted me $69.95 for all four corners.

Probably going to give it a try, and specify .5 degrees to 1 degree of neg camber all around, 1/16 total toe-in rear, 0 toe on front.

It feels okay as is, but I know its probably off a little bit and that bugs me.

You will handle and perform better with 0 to -1/16 toe on the rear since the drive wheels are the ones always pulled toward toe in due to the thrust they exert on the car. It will also improve mileage and tire life.

Do I understand you to say rears should have 0 - 1/16 toe OUT?

I always thought toe-out on the rears was a bad thing :confused:
