Default MY 2004 WHEEL ALIGNMENT SETTINGS

Camber front: -0deg30' +/- 10'
Camber Rear: -1deg30' +/- 10'

Caster front: 6deg00' +/- 15'

Front Toe-in: 0mm +/- 2mm
Rear Toe-in: 3mm +/- 2mm

Front Wheel Turning Angle Inside Wheel: 34deg00' +/- 2deg
Front Wheel Turning Angle Outside Wheel: 29deg (Reference)


I had this done at Northway Tyres, after wheels hit curb quite hard. The printout shows it was out...but now car feels less grippy on fast bends than before any of thjis happened. Its only 3 month sold. Anyway... these are the settings the Honda dealer faxed to the tyre place...

Cheers

It looks like the most significant change is they've increased the rear toe in.

Possibly they've reduced the passive rear wheel steer effect, in order to reduce the fidgetiness, so have upped the toe in for straightline stability?
