Default Driveway specs

I do my own alignments for the Stang in the driveway. I do level the wheels right to left and front to back. I use only a tape measure and a level.

I set the camber first at 0 degrees using a level off of the bottom and top edges of the wheels with the car on the ground. I measure the distance between the tires at the fattest points from both the front most and rearmost points.

I can't really measure caster very well, so I just make sure the shim packs are about 3 times at the front as to what they are at the rear on the upper suspension arms. After all that the camber should still be 0, and the toe in I like to be 1/16 to 1/8".

This setting woirks well for me both straight ahead and in the corners.
