Wheel alignment specs? Camber, castor, toe in, etc...
I've just replaced my outer tie-rod ends and wow my toe was way out, it was toe out...
Anyway, got the new tie rods in and gonna go for full wheel alignment soon, where do I find, or does anybody have, the camber FR and RR, castor, toe-in, etc. specs for the FD?
Any help appreciated,
thanks!

Any decent alignment shop will have the factory settings. I believe they're also in the FSM but those will only be for factory 16" wheels.
Pettit Racing also has recommended settings...
RECOMMENDED ALIGNMENT SETTINGS:
Front Wheel: Toe Camber Caster
Wheel Diameter: 16" 17" 18"
Street: 1/16" in -1.2 -0.9 -0.8 +6.0
Long Track Event: 1/16" in -1.5 -0.9 -0.8 +6.0
Short Track Event: 0 -1.8 -1.1 -1.0 +6.0
Autocross: 1/16" out -1.8 -1.3 -1.1 +6.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rear Wheel: Toe Camber KEEP REAR THRUST ANGLE SET TO ZERO
Wheel Diameter: 16" 17" 18"
Street: 0 -1.1 -0.3 -0.0
Long Track Event: 0 -1.3 -0.5 -0.2
Short Track Event: 0 -1.5 -0.5 -0.2
Autocross: 0 -1.5 -0.5 -0.4

I think it depends on your ride height/suspension and wheel setup.
I just replaced my outer tie rods last weekend myself. Improved wheel shimmy pretty good but i know my alignment is off as the car sways slightly to the right.
When i called for an estimate on wheel alignment, they asked me for the following info, ride height, what type of suspension, wheels etc.
I dont think you can use factory specs if you dont have factory equipment. I may be wrong though.
