Your alignment settings seem very conservative..I ran 2.0deg of camber and 4.5deg of caster on my miata. Those have double wishbones, so you should be way more towards the extreme.
Try 3 degrees of static camber or more, 6 or 7 degrees is perfectly normal for a mcPherson strut race-car..so half that would be a good start for a road car. Dial in as much caster as you can get. 5 or 6 degrees is fine, whatever the adjustment range on the rods will give you without rubbing issues. Very nice for feel. Finally zero toe is theoretically fine. Its the best setting for tire wear. Do you have poly bushings in your car? If not then you can dial in a couple of mm toe-in without problems. The weak rubbers allow the suspension to deflect a bit while driving, causing toe-out. A bit of toe in will correct this. The stiffer the bushings and toe-controll rods, the less of toe-in you'll need. Hope this helps, good luck. A wheel to steer the front of the car A pedal to steer the rear |
