Far too much front camber :o

You need to lose some front toe as well.

Rear is fine :y

Nice to hear that rear is fine, good start. I try to convert the front Camber to degrees to understand how far 1 degree and 10 minutes is from actual value.

Take 20 from the last part of the camber number... Look at the link I posted earlier today... That way you can compare apples with apples ;)

So 1 degree is 60 minutes which means that targeted value 1 degree + 10 minutes is 1,166 degrees. Actual value 1 degree 32 minutes is thus 1,533 degrees, more than 30% higher. So pretty much perhaps but is it worth readjusting?

Thanks DG for good enclosure. What is interesting is that:

"Nominal" Camber (front) in my paper is -1°55' while it is "your" maximum. As -1°10' is the recommendation I have to go to that direction, understood.

What is not understood is the plus or minus in Toe. According to Finnish papers Toe in is positive "+" and Toe out is negative "-" So, recommendation in "your" paper is Zero "0" and nominal in my paper is +0°05'. According to my understanding I have now Toe In as it is positive???

Being rear wheel drive, it should toe in at the front, (in exaggeration, picture the front wheels pointing to the front licence plate) yours is too much.

I might have been aiming for zero, but ideally no more than 03' each side.
