front end alignment

This week I'm getting my '99 max se aligned and I want to know if anyone has the specs. I had the car aligned last fall and since them it has been really "squirly" on the highway and I'm noticing a little bit of uneven wear on my front driver's tire (they are brand new tires; BF goodrich g-force KDWS 225/55/16) I remember a few months ago someone had posted the "ideal" specs of a front end alignment but I can't seem to find the post. I've done a search but had no luck. if someone can help it would be greatly appreciated. thanks,
Tom

I just got an alignment last friday. I can't tell you what the "ideal" specs...but here's the specified ranges:

Both Front (they are the same):
Camber: -1.00 to .50
Caster: 2.00 to 3.50
Toe: 0.05 to 0.14

Cross Camber: -0.75 to 0.75
Cross Caster: -0.75 to 0.75
Total Toe: 0.09 to 0.28


Hope this helps

Thanks for the info. How does the car feel on the highway with the set-up that you have? Does it feel "squirlly"?
