Alignment

[joe117]

I want to get my 94 aligned so I don't have the darty steering problem. I did a site search and came up with this.
Front camber -.25 to -.50
front caster 6.00
toe 0 to .05" (keep positive to compensate for negative camber wear)

rear camber -.25 to -.50
rear caster to spec (if he has a caster tool ) if not tell him when adjusting camber make sure the adjusts front an rear camber bolts in control are same amount you can visually see the lower ball joint move forward or back
rear toe 0.00 to .05" same reasons as front

Can some alignment guru tell me if this setting will make the car a little more stable and if this information is all I need to give to an alignment shop. I don't mind a little extra tire wear and I'm not looking for any high performance setup. I just want the car to drive sort of the way my Vette drives.

I would recommend .5 - .75 camber front & rear, 1/8" toe in front & rear. Definitely no toe out in the rear! I have never heard that toe out will reduce negative camber wear; if anything, I would expect the extra scrub to increase wear.

I have a C4 and '93 RT/10 and you can forget the two driving alike. Different animals and that's why I like having both.

I've heard of people using 95 specs on 94's for better handling

Seems like I've seen posts where someone said what deviations to make from the stock alignment values in order to make the car less darty.
I found one post where a guy said that his became darty after an alignment to the stock specs.
Someone must know about this.

I don't have a 95 manual. Can someone tell me what the 95 specs are?
Also, just so I'm not chasing phantoms here, my car drives straight and proper on flat roads. When I get on uneven pavement it seems very darty. My 96 Vette drives stable over these same uneven roads. The Vette tires are almost as big. Why should it be so different?
Also again, would new tires make a big difference on these uneven roads? My present Pilots are not too worn but probably old and the fronts both have a mild flat spots.
