Alignment

[Bradley G]

Well I had the (aggressive camber) stock alignment changed to the tire friendly Carfixer specs today.
I have to admit my first impression, I liked the way the steering cut before, it felt more responsive.
I realize this has a purpose, I hope to get more than a year on the next set of tires.

I too had an alignment last week done to Carfixer specs. With the recent installation of four new tires and the Naake coil over front apx 1" lower & rear shocks with rear ride height lowered the same it was needed. Unfortunately they couldn't adjust the camber to the other side of the spectrum as requested. The camber stot wasn't long enough. These were the specs: Before front:
camber left -1.7 degree camber right -1.0 degree
caster 5.8 degree caster 6.0 degree
toe 0.53 degree toe 0.49 degree

total toe: 0.05
total thrust: -0.04




After front :
camber left -0.5 degree camber right -0.8 degree
caster 5.8 degree caster 6.0 degree
Toe -0.01 degree toe -0.03 degree

total toe -0.04 degree
street ahead 0.01 degree

REAR left & right same camber & toe before & after except for total toe & thrust.
camber left -0.1 right -0.2
toe -0.02 toe 0.07

total toe 0.05
thrust angle -0.05

In order for me to further adjust camber alignment I need to check and adjust a few things. My concerns are: What part of the frame is used to measure for level of equal camber adjustment ? Has anyone moved the rack from one side to another for additional camber adjustment ? Has anyone elongated the camber slots ?
