i have a hayne's manual for my truck, but it gives odd specs for toe in and caster /camber.

who knows the spec for toe/ caster /camber on an 80?

if you are looking to reset due to a parts change... here is the book numbers

camber + or - 1/2 degree
caster + or - 1/2 degree
toe-in + or - 1/16 inch
camber (side to side) 1/2 degree
caster (side to side) 1/2 degree

caster and camber must not vary more than 1/2 degree from side to side
toe in setting must always be made after caster and camber

if you are looking to check it for correctness the service checking numbers are as follows:
camber + or - 3/4 degree
caster + or - 1 degree
toe-in + or - 1/8 inch
camber (side to side) 1 degree
caster (side to side) 1 degree

thanks bob......some idiot at les schwab didn't tighten my upper control arm properly and i didn't discover it till all the shims were gone and it killed two tires and a set of wheel bearings.

on a side note...... i scored a set of stock 15x6" rodeo rims and stuffed a set of 215/60-15 on em and man....it looks sweet......have to get used to inproved handeling.... i'll post a pic of rims and tires later today.

welcome....

1) So does that mean the 'ideal' settings for camber, caster and toe are all 0?

2) I've searched the forum but didn't see. Does anyone know what the offset is on a stock wheel? (Mine are all gone long ago.) I assume it's got some negative offset, if the toe is zero.

3) If I'm running a 0 offset wheel, should I dial in a little toe to compensate?
