Default Got my alignment - please take a look at my spec sheet numbers...

I got my alignment done last weekend along with 4 new tires and a nitrogen fill for free from the dealership. Spec sheet reads as follows:

Left Front Camber: -1.1 degrees
Right Front Camber: -1.2 degrees

Left Front Toe: .16 degrees
Right Front Toe: .14 degrees

Front Total Toe: .30 degrees

Front Steer Ahead: .01 degrees


Will these settings allow my tires to wear evenly if I keep an eye on the pressure and rotate my tires according to the manual?

Thanks,
Mark

Damn, I hate toe readings in degrees. What the heck was wrong with inches?! LOL.

Anyway, let me dissect this. First, there's no caster value. Hmmmm.... okay. Second, 1 degree of neg. camber is nice, and shouldn't cause any severe wear issues. Finally, I like the way 1/16" or .174 degress positive toe feels. Therefore, you right on the money with that too.

Take care Mark, and happy trails!

Is that toe figure toe in or toe out?

Greg, thank you so much for the dissection!

I didn't even notice when I received the spec sheet but the caster values are not represented on it. I don't really know why?

I greatly appreciate the info as this issue has been driving my crazy.
