BrownBoy Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Does anyone know if this has changed any from the 04s and before? I know that most alignment shops still have 04 specs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawGT Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Here is my aligment specs...and this is AFTER they supposedly aligned it. Note most everything is off, with the rear camber way off. If there is no way to adjust rear camber, what to do? Would this qualify for Lemon law (assuming 4 chances to fix, etc...)?

The RR camber is a bit more than wanted, especially since the LR is -0.5. But nothing terrible. What about these specs is bothering you? Toe F&R is zero'd out, camber in the front is a conservative -0.5 to -0.6, castor diff is 0.5. All good numbers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgt Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Front looked good, looks like they didnt even touch the rear. I set my front to 0 toe and -.5 camber and the rear to 0 toe. I have about -1deg camber in the back. no big deal but the toe I can always get to 0 and the camber is relatively even in the back. I wonder why your rear camber differs so much left to right?

edmundu Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 you must be kidding No, I wasn't. I'll be the first one to admit not being a alignment guru, but from my reading of the alignment data, only the RR camber looked to be off compared to the LR. All of the other number's still look good to me! If I'm wrong, please someone tell me what I'm not seeing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgt Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 rear toe could have been done better. Looks like whoever was doing the work just wanted to rush thru it and/or something is bent in the rear suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 I'm not sure how to add & subtract in degrees. So, from the 2005 Legacy Service Manual, what is the MIN & MAX specs for the: Legacy Camber -0°15' ±0°30' Outback Camber 0°40' ±0°30' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgt Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 30 minutes is about .5 degrees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawGT Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Reviving old post.... so if my rear camber is off 1 degree (-1.5 deg to -.5 deg) which is double the .5 deg. min/max spec, how do I fix it (Since it's not adjustable)? Silly question, but what are the consequenses of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBlueGT Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Rear camber of -1.5 is fine in my books. It will give you better traction around corners then -0.5. Just make sure your toe is in spec (try to talk the guy into getting your toe deadly) and your tire wear should be just fine. FWIW if rear camber was adjustable most aggressive street drivers would set it at -1.5. Full tune of 68HTA, KSTech 73 MAF, Racer X FMIC and ID1000s................by the DataLog Mafia!!!

LawGT Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Ok, but it's -1.5 in one side, -.5 in the other. I want to make both sides come closer together. I would not care if it was -1.5 in both...follow me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBlueGT Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I follow, but not unusual, and nothing you can really do about it unless parts are replaced.

outahere Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Does anyone have the latest alignment specs for the 2005 sedan and wagon? Apparently, there were changes made in January 2006 and March 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeattleLegacy Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Just got my alignment done today at Firestone. 05 2.5i with 47,700 miles. First alignment since purchase. i noticed some feathering on the outsides of the front (obviously the fault of the toe angles) not sure if the specs below are the update ones you were looking for but this is what Firestone has in the compter for it. edit: print screen to pic http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e168/SeattleLegacy/Alignment.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
