Well, the guys that are doing your alignments are attempting to set it up to Nissan Specs.
That is fine, for a stock Nissan vehicle.
I set the lifted X's up in a different manner. I wish though, that Calmini would extend their UCA's a bit more, make the alignment a buttload easier!
Anyway, using these settings, it gets easier to align, and to drive.
0º Camber, and whatever your Caster is, have the left side be -0.5º less than the right side. For instance, 1.5º left, 2.0º right side Caster (still with 0º Camber). The Caster specs I just listed are just numbers, not necessarily what you'll have. I've seen X's with a lot of different Caster readings, so it can be all over the place.
Then, set Toe to Nissan spec.
I've aligned several folks' X's on here, with great success. (not bragging)
Ask XOC how he likes his.
I bought my lift and steering yesterday so they aren't installed yet.
So, when we go to the alignment shop, do we flat out tell them not to follow Nissan Specs, to just figure it out b/c it is lifted?
