      If u could give a some numbers to try out That would be great. I know they use the stock numbers an the inside is bad on my tires so what would I tell them. I just want the front tires to ride more on the center on the tires. Thanks

      Here are my alignment specs from my web page. You will likely only be able to max caster out to around 3 degrees positive, then set camber to .25 neg, toe in to 1/8". Monitor toe in if you have new springs, as the car settles, the toe will change to toe out so you will have to re-set it. You really can't do alignment or toe settings without turn-tables. I've cheated and tried to do it without them and had terrible results.

      A correctly aligned car using STOCK settings will NOT wear the inside of your tire. Either the alignment was done incorrectly or you have worn parts causing the alignment problem. Reading this thread its like everyone is talking to a wall...

      I agree, you either have worn suspension parts or the alignment was done wrong. OR as I said, if the car settles it will toe out and wear the tires on the inside edges. If the wear is on the right front, the idler arm has a lot do do with RF toe.

      Stock alignment numbers are not the greatest for performance handling with wider than stock tires, but your tires should not wear on the inside shoulders if aligned to factory specs, it just won't corner as well as it could.
      I gave you alignment specs above. You can run more or less camber depending on how hard you expect to drive the car around turns.
