Does anyone know if the specs for 2002 are the same as 2000/2001, and if not, what they are? Thanks.

Usually the rule of thumb is to check alignment at least every 2 years regardless of mileage. If you drive on rough or potholed roads, more like once a year.

They are according to the tech at John Eagle Honda here in DFW.

Just got an alignment there a few weeks back, had mine put to a little more aggressive setting and out of curiosity asked if he had spec for the new 02's. He was using a new Hunter machine and what he pulled up on the computer were the same stock spec's

Had my alignment done a week ago, the guy didn't write down what it was when he started but he said my right rear had "significant" changes, and three of the four wheels had toe out. Car handles much better now

According to the tech, most "new" cars need an alignment ~6 mos after delivery, once all the fittings seat in.

If you are really particular, do it with the driver in the car - it makes a minor difference.
