Ok, so I've become slightly obsessed with alignment values after recently having a heavy n/s/f wheel/curb impact, I've replaced all the n/s/f suspension, subframe and even decided to get my car on an alignment jig to make sure everything on the body measures up.
After the body has been checked/adjusted the toe out will need to be adjusted on the front, what I'm undecided about is whether to stick with the values they give at alignment centres or go with what's in the workshop manual.
I have the cup pack (or 'extreme pack' as the workshop manual describes it) so the desired value on the front toe out is -0°12’ ± 12’ whereas at alignment centres it is -0°05' (+/- 5')
The other values in the manual correspond with what they give at alignment centres:
Castor Angle: 5°38’ ± 39’
Camber: -0°59’ ± 30’
Apart from the toe values:
Toe: -0°10’ ± 8’ (non-cup pack)
Toe: -0°12’ ± 12’ (cup/extreme pack)
The camber value on the rear is the same in both the workshop manual & what alignment centres go off of
Camber: -1°33’ ± 20’
But again the Toe is different, alignment centres have the toe as 0°15' (+/- 15')
In the workshop manual:
Toe-in: 0°31’ ± 30’ (same on cup/non-cup)
