Due to the pretty severe tramlining, I rough-checked my alignment settings in the garage with a tram and caster/camber gage this morning. It has 1/32" toe out. Driver side camber was neg 1-3/8 deg and Pass side was neg 1 deg. However, as an after-thought I laid my big straightedge on the floor across the front of the car and it showed the floor is a bit high on the driver side. On a flat floor the Driver side camber would decrease and the Pass side would increase - so just roughly they are probably about equal at a hair over 1 deg negative.
Not to concerned about the camber but the toe-out does seem like an issue on the street. On the old cars I've garage lined the specs were always for 1/16 to 1/8 inch toe in. And any toe out was always considered an issue with wandering and poor directionability - although on a race course it can help with turn in and cornering response.
So what do you think - dial in a bit of toe-in??
