I just got my car aligned because it was lowered. The numbers are as follows :

Left Right
Front Camber -0.3 -0.5
Cross Camber 0.2
Caster 4.9 5.2
Cross Caster -0.3
Toe .02 .04
Total Toe 0.06
Set Back 0.19

Rear Camber -1.0 -1.0
Toe 0.05 0.09
Total Toe 0.14
Total Angle -0.04


Are these numbers good? The steering wheel kinda feels like its slightly left, but not too much. Are these the numbers I should have? I'm making a long trip with the car, so please help...I don't want to drive 300 miles with it misaligned! Thanks.

The numbers are within spec, except the caster... it's a little higher than what the service manual says, for the front. but generally it's the toe and camber that you are going to worry about. I don't think you can adjust the caster on the max... I coudl be wrong...

As for the steering wheel... that won't effect much unless you are trying to correct... if it goes straigh and it to the left, it's ok. When they adjust the toe, they need to be careful, otherwise the steering wheel will be off.

Also check your tire pressure, if can affect your allignment.

Loosen the nuts on the top of the left ront strut mount and loosen the strut brace. Push the top of the strut 45deg in and toward the rear to take up the slop in the bolt holes (a pry bar helps). It will probably move just a little. If not, go to the right side and push (or pry) out and forward at 45deg. Either will decreasr all three differences between the two sides.
