I am aligning my own camaro and I need to know what kind of caster/camber settings I need to make. I just need to know how many degrees I should set them to. It is a dd and stock settings would probably be fine unless you have any other suggestions. I have hear that the toe in measurement needs to see about 1/8" smaller in the front to accomodate for the slack in the tie rod ends, bearings, ball joints ect. Is this correct?

From my '95 GM shop manual.

Front (Set)

Caster +4.4 +/_ .5

Cross Caster 0.0 +/_ .5

Camber +0.4 +/_ .5

Cross Camber 0.0 +/_ .7

Individual Toe 0.0 +/_ .1

Total Toe 0.0 +/_ .2

Rear is fixed unless you have a major problem.

Ummmmm I guess I don't understand the table you made. honestly I don't even know what cross caster and cross camber actually are. I just thought there was caster, camber and toe in/out. Could someone explain what the number before the +/_ means and after the +/_ I am ordering a shop manual but I don't have it yet and I need to get this taken care of. thanks alot.

out of curiosity what part of Missourri are you from?

Cross Camber/Caster is the difference from left side to right side.

All measurements are in degrees.

+ caster is the top of the steering knuckle tilted back towards the center of the car.

+ camber is top of the tire tilted ******ds.

+4.4 +/_ .5 means plus or minus .5 from the desired measurement, I.E. +3.9 to +4.9.

Any alignment shop will know what it means.
