Camber & Toe-in for stock 82 '944
What are the ideal camber and toe-in angles for a stock 1982 944 - normal sedate road going use - the settings my local garage used were too sporty - insides of front tyres wear too fast (Pirelli P6000s normally a good tyre)
Is there a good "heath robinson" way of adjusting the camber and toe-in at home?

Toe can be measure with a ruler and string. Camber can be as well but it is more difficult to get it correct. Do you have pics of the tires, might be easier to tell you what is out if we could see the tread area.

For decent tire wear on the street the camber should be about -0.3 degrees. Toe should be slightly in on the front the exact #s are at work. But for the street just go factory settings.

Cheers Guys - sorry no pics of tyres - new already fitted!
Also slight side to side play in rear wheel roller bearings had me a little bemused - new bearings fitted move just the same!
