MK4 w/IRS alignment specs ??

[Ted G]

Looking for some info from a few of the "experts" here.

Going to get my alignment this Thursday and was hoping to get some recommended specs for my build with IRS set up. I currently have it dialed in pretty well and it is driving great but I know I'm too much toe-in on the front and a little too much camber on the rears. My steering is a little "twitchy" and I'm sure that is because of the toe-in.

I am planning on giving them these specs to hopefully get to:


Front Camber: -.7 degrees
Front Caster: 7.5 degrees
Front Toe: .07 degrees
Front Total Toe: .14 degrees

Rear Camber: -.5 degrees
Rear Toe: .12 degrees
Rear Total Toe: .24 degrees


I've heard these are good specs to try and get to.

Thank you in advance

Do you have power steering? You won't get to that front caster without having cut the adjustment sleeves. I'm not sure why the rear toe is any different than the front. Anywhere between .14 and .24 total deg is fine for rear toe.

Thanks Bruce, forgot to mention that I do have power steering. And yes, I already cut the sleeves about 1/4" if memory serves me right.

I think too much rear Toe, same as the front. I would also match the Camber front & rear.

You can also help 'twitchy' w/ a little more caster, I like 8deg. And lower tire pressure. I like 20-22.
