In regard to that image posted in the last reply, I notice the thrust shows .01 should that be .00 ?
The thrust line is only used for vehicle's with a solid axle. It is an imaginary line, running forward from the center of the rear axle, that bisects the rear toe. I use it as a reference. It shows me how close to center I have adjusted the settings. + or - .01 is allowable as long as it is not above .05. I would say you wouldn't notice the difference anyway unless you were drag racing.

Thanks for the replies.

I changed my mind and decide to go to aTempe honda this time. They put the car on rack and ended up adjusting the Front Right Camber, Caster as well as the Cross caster.

The settings were/are as follows for the changes only

Front Right
Before After Specified Range
-.3 -6 -.7 to -.3 Camber
5.8 6.0 5.8-6.3 Caster
-.03 .02 -.04 to .04 Toe
9.6 9.8 SAI


Front Left
Before After
-.02 .03 Toe
9.9 10.0 SAI

All others remained unchanged and basically in the middle of the specified range


The mechanic said the car was still technically in the specified range but just barely for the right side and that is probably what i was noticing.

Its amazing what a few tenths of a degree will do. I honestly think the car drives better than it did when i bought it off the showroom floor.
