Default Alignment Done

I finally got around to getting the 4-wheel alignment done.

=Before=

Front:
camber - L -1. 3 R-1.0
toe - L -.34 R -.37


Rear:
camber - L -2.3 R -2.6
toe - L .42 R .59


=After=

Front:
camber - L -.6 R -.5
toe - L -.01 R -.00

Rear:
camber - L -2.0 R -2.0
toe - L .31 R .31

========================

As you can see, the least amont of camber I could run is -2.0 degrees. We set the toe .31 degrees on the rear so we can even out the tire wear, we barely got the toe in within the specified range. I'm just glad I didn't set the rear on the lower perch setting (camber would be really off).


The car had a very heavy feel when turning before the alignment. Turning response had a delay and the tires would squeel hard during a moderate turn. This is due to the fact that almost every camber/toe setting for the front and rear wheels were out of wack. So it's very important to get an alignment done after any time you take apart and re-assemble the suspension setup. The car handles beautifully now and it turns immediately right as you turn the wheel. In other words, response is amazingly much, much better now and the tires do not make noise at all.

BTW it's a pain in the ass to get a lowered car on the alignment rack, I will never do this again.
