Another alignment question....

Speaking of specs...I told the alignment guy to set the front toe @ 0. I just looked more closely at the sheet and it notes the left front @ .03 / right @ .07

I guess I didn/t get the 0 I asked for. Are these settings going to cause more wear?

Caster is @ 7.5 Camber is @ -0.5

If you look at the C-6 faqs above, you'll see the alignment specs.

I will say, though, that if you have a good alignment shop and are willing to pay to have them get it really close, you can get to .01 or .02 all around, but at that point, it's probably academic and a couple of hard bumps and the alignment is probably off a bit anyway.

FWIW, the "after" printout from our local dealer always has the toe and camber exactly as specified, so it can be done. But yours is probably ok as is.
