RE: [Chrysler300] 300 G Wheel Alignment

["elmer tuuri" <eltuuri@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My own preferences are--- 0-camber,   as much caster as you can get--both 
sides the same- no lead--drive a lot on 4-lane----left lane driving with 
lead (leed) --will pull to the left.  1/8 in. toe -in,  wheels tend to pull 
out when driving, therefore you need a little toe-in. My preferences & 2 
-cents worth                Elmer Tuuri
