Hello:

I would like to know what the alignement specs are for a 98 Max.

One other thing, how can I tell if my car is a Cali o fed spec?, My car doesn't come with the sticker under the hood. Can I find this some way in the VIN #?

Thanks

toward the alignment there is no rear adjustment you can only set toe your total toe should be at 18 . that means 9 and 9 for left and rightside .

Raise your hood. Look for a shiny metal identification tag fastened to the
passenger side of firewall. The top row is the Vehicle Identification
Number, starting with J. The second row is model information. The first
five characters are BLHUL. The 12th character is the destination:

N = Canada
V = California
U = US, not California
