    Alignment Specs Needed

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have a set of Kumho MX's that are completely bald on the outside in the rear. I only have around 6k to 7k miles on them. I recently lowered my car (H&R Springs) a little over a month ago and I only drove it a couple of times before I aligned it (less than 125 miles). We aligned with the specs I found on Audiworld, but now I am not sure if it was correct. But I have only driven less than 1k miles, so I don't know if that is enough time to f these tires up that bad (they are very soft tires though). Here are my alignment settings when I took it in and what we set them too (I don't have the settings when I was at stock height).

    Before:
    Front
    Camber: -1.7 L -1.5 R
    Toe: -1.12 L -0.33 R
    Set Back: -0.06
    Rear
    Camber: -1.3 L -1.3 R
    Toe: -0.61 L -0.45 R
    Total Toe: -1.06
    Thrust Angle: -0.08

    After:
    Front
    Camber: -1.8 L -1.6 R
    Toe: 0.04 L 0.02R
    Set Back: 0.06
    Rear
    Camber: -1.3L -1.4R
    Toe: 0.12 L 0.14 R
    Total Toe: 0.25
    Thrust Angle: -0.01

    Here is a pic. Is it possible something was left loose to cause my alignment to get jacked up?

    Re: Alignment Specs Needed

    im confused why you would align it based on some spec's you got offline, isn't a proper alignment different for every car based on getting the tires flat and even ground contact under normal loads, and as close to factory settings as possible ?

    It might be the angle of the picture messing with me, but it looks like your rears are really toe-in.

    Re: Alignment Specs Needed

    Can someone give me what the OEM specs are? I am taking my car back this weekend to recheck the alignment.

    Re: Alignment Specs Needed

    His alignment machine did not have the specs for the S4. Are they the same as the A4?

    Re: Alignment Specs Needed

    I will get you the factory specs from my Hunter machine at my work, I believe they are different than the A4. I have the same springs and when I recently did mine I got my toes perfect all the way around, as well as the rear camber. But the fronts are booth negative and there is no adjustment with stock control arms.

    Re: Alignment Specs Needed

    Front Camber: -.83 both (-.4 to -1.3)
    Front Toe: .33 both (.08 to .25)

    Rear Camber: -.92 both (-.07 to -1.2)
    Rear Toe: .27 both (.05 to .22)

    Hope that helps. My rear camber was -1.2 and I think my front camber was out of the thresh hold at -1.7 or something.
