Just had a new alignment. I have always used Carfixer specs and found the spec did eliminate inner tire wear. What I didn't like was how the car tracked at 0 degree toe it wandered. So with my new alignment we added just a little toe. What a huge difference I couldn't be more satisfied. This was the end result: Front
cross camber 0.0
cross caster -0.2
total toe 0.13

Zero toe does not cause wander. Caster does.

+1 on that^^^^
I just had mine set to zero toe w/255/45's and no wander - tracks VERY straight up to and beyond speed limit.

Depends how worn your bushings are too.

Could post the spec's as I need front tires on my 03 and it would be good to have the right info when getting it done.

Loosen the nut on the lower control arm and move the arm in our out.

The front nut is for chamber so are you talking about the back nut for caster.

Theres a washer on the drivers side that prevents caster adjustment, this needs to be removed. I think you can reuse it by flipping it over.
