[Chrysler300] 300 G Wheel Alignment

["Lauren Lampi" <lampi300@xxxxxxx>]

Hi 300 Group,

Getting close to "On the Road Again" for the Black G  HT.

I need the "Group Recommended Alignment Specs"  for the 300 G.

I have an alignment appointment with the Chrysler Dealership on Friday.

They don't have alignment specs for the early cars, but I told them

I would get the "correct specs".

The front end was rebuilt with new ball joints, bushings, tie rod ends, etc.

Also, put KYB shocks at all 4 corners.

The wire wheels were built with polished stainless spokes and 

are  15"  by   7"  wide.

The tires are Diamond Back Classic Radials,  235 / 75  by  15".


I printed and saved the Wheel alignment articles from  16 May 2000

that were printed on the 300 club site.

Recommended Alignment specs in the article were:

0  Camber  ( or as close as you can get ).

2  1/2  positive caster on the right wheel.

2  1/4  positive caster on the left wheel.

Toe     1/8  inch  IN.

The article also mentioned to be careful not to tighten the steering box adjustment "too much"

when you have radial tires on a "non radial car".


Do these Alignment specs appear to be " in the ballpark "

for our 300's ?

Are there any specs on " how high up to set the the torsion bars "?

>From ground to bottom of bumper or ground to bottom of front wheel  opening.
