So I just got an alignment after dropping my 4th gen prelude about 2". Alignment was very cheap (Local shop) so I wasn't expecting much.


Here are the results:

FRONT RIGHT
----------------
Camber: -1.9 deg
Toe: 1/16in
Toe before: 0in

FRONT LEFT
--------------
Camber: -1.9 deg
Toe: 0in
Toe before: -1/16in

REAR RIGHT
--------------
Camber: -2 deg
Toe: 1/8in
Toe before: 1/8in

REAR LEFT
------------
Camber: -2 deg
Toe: 1.8in
Toe before: 1/16in


My question is WHY was toe changed from 0 to 1/16 for FR and from 1/16 to 1/8 for RL?

 

to get the front wheels pointed in the same direction as the rears.

does a prelude seriously require 1/4 total rear toe in?? seems like a lot.

 

I just became more confused lol.

Guess I need to school myself some more.

I figured 0 was best in any case?


EDIT - OHH is it because the rear wheel base is wider than the front wheel base? *shrug* just a guess.

 

well not all cases is 0 toe even the factory setting.

but i am curious what the factory specs are for your vehicle.

 

According to the report, the specified range for toe is:

Front: -1/16 to 1/16
Total Front: -1/16 to 1/16

Rear: 0 to 1/16
Total Rear: 0 to 3/16

 

well the total rear toe is 1/4 according to your report.

which is not within spec. and is what i am wondering about.

looks like it should be 1/8 total.

 

That's what I was wondering about too.. would've asked but it was an asian shop and they didn't speak very good english. Did hear the shop had a good reputation though.
