Sandro Seminara Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Hi I have my 98 S70 T5 with 16" wheels at the indy trying to correct an alignment problem. THe dealer told me the alignment specs are the same for all S70's. Is that true? If so does anyone know what the specs are for the front alignment?RegardsSandro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front and rear should be adjusted at the same time, if not you won't have a correct alignement.What sort of alignement machine are they using, these specs should already be in it if they are using something like Hunter equipement.

Oreo931 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Make sure that when you are getting an alignment done that you are getting a FOUR WHEEL alignment. Some places seem to think that these cars take a two wheel aligment, but that is false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like somewhere there have that info and know what they are doing.You know that really is the best answer to the question. I can already see them looking at the delta links, wondering how to adjust them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-5Bandit Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 A lot of things Example Thrust angleWrong. A thrust angle alignment is for cars that don't have any rear adjustments, it is a way of tracking the rear to the front as close as possible to compensate for not having rear adjustments. Our cars do have rear toe adjustments from the delta links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
