AE82 FXGT factory alignment specs

Postby nile » Tue May 17, 2011 12:10 pm

Google has returned nothing other than this http://www.caesionline.com/wheelalign/s ... yota3.html

Which would be for a normal EE80, the FXGT would have a different spec I would imagine.

Could anyone shed some light on the spec or where I could find it?

IIRC all E8* series corolla's had the same spec.

Why would you need a factory spec?
Just set it to 0 toe and it'll be good enough.

Okay thanks for the replies. Just wondering what the factory toe specs were as a base point for my alignment. Will just start off with zero.

I had a feeling that zero toe makes cars wander all over the road at 100k??

Hardly any cars are zero's in the specs.

+ 0.5mm sounds pretty close to 0.

Could you get closer by trying?

I've never done an alignment with a proper machine, but i've seen it done a few times. It might be an old car thing, but it looked like the error was around 0.5mm
Has anyone who actually does wheel alignments done the measurements then driven down the highway and then re-measured? I'd be interested to know the differences that were measured.

I figure that by the time you take into account the play in rack ends, tie rods, ball joints, bushes, wheel bearings, and wheel casting irregularities, that 0.5mm is about error.
