2019 GT350 Street Alignment Specs

[JAJ]

I’ve learned a lot about alignment since I discovered my ruined front tires a couple years ago. I believe most of the wear was due to the toe and not the camber. I purchased a three year unlimited alignment plan so I could mess around with different settings and see what works best. I don’t track the car so I’m not overly concerned about a slight loss of handling.

I checked the settings on the sheet you posted and they're basically the S550 Ecoboost settings. Glad they're working on your car - no reason they shouldn't, I suppose.

Without camber plates, factory or otherwise, front camber isn't adjustable, so it is what it is. From a wear perspective, toe is more important than camber anyway, so get that right per the specs and all will be well. Just to make it easier, the 2019 GT350 front street toe spec is 0.06 degrees toe-in. The 2020 street toe spec for the GT350 is 0.10 degrees toe-out. Toe out will produce snappier turn-in, but it might be tougher on the tires.

Is 2020 the one year Ford changed the alignment specs for the GT350? I know they were trying to get the car to it's max potential with the SC2s on the 350 and the knuckles on the R. I see now it comes with cost of the wear on the tires.

I'm about to have the alignment verified on a 2016 350R. Visually the wheels look like they are set to negative camber. Haven't had the same set of tires on it long enough to notice any shoulder wear.

I plan on setting it to a 2016 Street alignment per the owner's manual. Would you recommend that for minimum tire wear? Or did Ford miss the mark in the early years with the toe settings and should I expect a low life span?

2020 is the only year with front toe-out on the GT350 and the GT350R street settings. Every other year had somewhere between 0.06 and 0.1 degrees toe-in. So, my view is to go with a small toe-in setting somewhere between 0.00 and -0.10 (I run 0.00 but that's just me). As for front camber, anywhere from -1.0 to -1.2 is fine for the street.

The rear is more important. The GT305/R's all need 0.30 degrees of total toe-in at the back. No exceptions. They also benefit from exactly the same rear camber side-to-side, somewhere between -1.0 degrees and -1.2 degrees, just like the front, again for the street setting. Getting the rear alignment right really helps with tramlining, for some reason.
