Alignment

[Alcarp]

It's time for the alignment, what are the specs for a street car Gen 1 frame?

Alcarp,

Here is what I had in my notes for the GTM alignment specs.

Front:
Toe-In (inches): 1/8" (1/16" each side)
Camber (deg): -0.25
Caster (deg): +2.5

Rear:
Toe-In (inches): 3/16" (3/32" each side)
Camber (deg): -0.50
Caster (deg): N/A

Take care,

Mike

Does having power steering make a difference in the alignment specs?
And are the specs above applied to a Mk.I roadster?

The specs above are what factory five suggests for the (stock) GTM configuration.

Have the corners balanced, just did it, it was way off.

I had mine done a couple of months ago. I should dig out the sheets that show the alignment specs and the corner weights.

I haven't posted it because I am going to switch the front upper control arm assemblies and re-align the front, when I get the car back from paint.

Mine came in at 2700lbs. 60/40 rear to front, cross weights at 50%, lt side is about 60lbs heavier than rt when I'm in it.
I tried to split the difference side to side whit a passenger vs. without.
