Hi folks. My 98 Outback is going in for an alignment next week. When I bought it the owner said he had the front camber set at -0.5 deg camber as per the liberty settings, but the outback stock setting is 0.0 deg. He said it turned in better.
Any opinions whether I should stick to the -0.5 deg or go to the stock 0 deg camber setting?
Thanks

Well according to the Gen2 94-98 BD/BG FSM
Front camber for AWD Wagon = -0°05'
Front camber for Outback = 0°20'
Front caster for AWD Wagon = 3°05'
Front caster for Outback = 2°50'
Im assuming that because the Outback is higher, that the camber is slightly positive to introduce understeer earlier. It may also have something to do with the different caster of the Outback too

Thanks, I think I'll just get him to put as much negative as possible on the front.

Has it been lifted?
I'd go for half a degree of neg camber in the front & maybe .2 deg rear...that's what I'd like in my Foz if I was able to...

It's on Kings standard height springs, so it sits a smidge higher than stock I guess, but bugger all.
