The #'s I have say:

Service Preferred: -0.20* +/- 0.5*, so allowed ranges from -0.7* to +0.5*.

Hope this helps. I have an excel sheet with all the specs if you want (send email).

When you get the alignment done, be sure to get the spec sheet that shows the before and after numbers. I think you'll see some neg camber that was causing your problelm. I've been running 0 camber for over 5 years.

Hey 02GT50 if you bring that car across the river I will be glad to set your alignment up at 0 camber. Depending on how you drive the car I can get it set up for "YOU" Green Chevrolet Hummer has a real nice alignment machine and I set up lots of vette's! 309-691-1150 thats service ask for GOLD team, that will get you to my writer.
