Factory Alignment Specs

Craig K. · 01-27-2005, 10:10 AM

Does anyone have the factory alignment specs for a SN-95?

I have them for my 1985, but I am not sure if these are good for the SN-95.

Anyone???

Well the Cobra was really pulling hard to the right since I bought it.
I checked the camber two nights ago, LH was around -0.90 degrees, RH was around -1.60 degrees.
I mad some adjustments and got the RH to around -1.10 degrees, but the adjustment is almost maxed out.

Then last night I rotated the tires, there was some wear on the inside edge of the fronts, the rears looked good (I don't think they were ever rotated). Then this morning it started pulling to the right again.

I checked the camber, and the LH had not changed, but the RH was to around -1.0 degrees.

I checked the toe (in a crued fasion) and determined that the RH was toe out too much, made an excessive adjustment and changed the pull almost exact opposite of were it was. So I backed my change off by 50% and I think I hit the money!

Though I still would like to checked it to the factory specs.

Whoops; I didn't see this one:

Ford Specs
Camber: .6 Negative
Caster: 3.6 Positive
Toe-In: .25*

Recommended Street
Camber: 1.0 Negative (although I have mine set to 1.5 Neg with minimal tire wear)
Caster: 4.5 Positive
Toe-In: .5*

Thanks Nathan!
Looks like my camber will be fine both are settled in around -0.9 degrees.

I have to figure a good way to verify toe.
Caster = untouched (still have factory plates)
