Default I'm Getting the Car Aligned Next Week

Any suggestions on settings:

I want to eliminate 2 problems:

1) The car does not seem stable enought going over 70 mph on a bend in the highway

2) Either the sateering wheel is off-center slightly or the car seems to pull right or maybe it is just following the natural crown in the road all the time.


My tires are not wearing down at all, so I can afford a little extra tire wear to achieve what I need.

I need some suggested settings

Thanks

But on the printout through the link it says for MY00-01 owners ONLY. Does this still apply to MY02 and MY03 as well?

Front L/R-1.3 degrees camber +6.4 caster and -.01 of toe

Rear L/R -2.0 degrees camber and +.4 total toe(which means toe in)

this has worked very well on my car for track, auto-x and street. The car is very stable.

On #1 - how many miles do you have on your tires? Have you checked the thread depth?

On #2 - our roads are extraodinarily bowed to help keep the streets from flooding during our monsoon season. All of my cars have the same problem of off-center steering wheel when driving around the area, especially on Kyrene. Drive it on the 101 in the fast lane and the position should change.
