Hi

 

Sorry tried the search and faq's i cant find the settings for 4 wheel setup (camber, toe etc).

 

Anyone have any links.

 

Cheers

I'm looking for this also as I'm fitting fully adjustable front lot and want all four doing bang on so I'd like to say I want this, toe, camber, caster etc. front and same rear.

Not wanting to drop on Paulzx's thread but I have stock wheels, Ebiach (SP) springs and Koni shocks, no idea how much they have dropped it by but should the toe, camber and caster and whetever else remain the same as stock all round ?

That doesnt say anything about the front toe setting. I have seen the settings somewhere before but just cannot remember.

These are the settings that mine was done to.

 

front toe 2.3mm max 0.5 mm min

rear toe 1.5mm max -0.9mm min

front camber 55' max -35' min

rear camber 25' max -1deg 55' min

 

They were done by http://www.wheels-inmotion.co.uk/

 

Worth contacting him to see if he can sort you out if you need anything else.

 

Good luck with it.

Nice one Darrell, is that the correct settings for ALL our cars regardless of wheels, suspension etc. ?

Found them as follows for future ref:

 

Front alignment.

 

Camber: -1°35' to -0°05'

Caster: 9°00’ - 10°30’

Kingpin inclination:12°10’ - 13°40’

 

Total toe in:

A – B 0-2mm (0-0.08 in)

2q: 0’ – 11’

 

Tie rods to be the same length.

Standard length 155mm

Rear Alignment.

 

Camber: -1°35’ to -0°35’

I think the wheel size makes a difference as they measure all that when they are seting it up.

 

The best guy to contact will be Toni at wheels in motion. He is a very helpful guy and is a member on here, although he seems to run his own forum now.

The place your getting the alignment done should have all the data on there computers.

 

The above setting are the stock settings it should be set to no matter what wheels/suspension you have IF you want to keep the stock alignment settings.

 

Others may prefer to alter the Camber, castor, toe a little for there own preferences, depends on how you drive it really.

This is what I always find confusing..........I need to know what the camber should be when I change my wheels for wider ones and lower the suspension. Paul gives one set of figures and Darrell gives a different set!

 

I know the correct camber is important to ensure even tyre wear but how can I find out what the CORRECT figures are?

The ones Paul posted are from the Nissan owners manual. Darrel may have had different settings done to his choice, or by recomendation from the place that did the Alignment. Also the figures Darrell posted are using a different measurement.

 

You dont really need to know the settings yourself, thats the job of the wheel aligner. If you go anywhere half decent then its all computerised.

 

Camber does'nt nessarily cause excessive wear, not unless it is way out, stock camber is around -1 but a a couple of degrees negative can be a preferred setup without any premature wear.
