Being at home I can't give it exactly by the book. The point is though I would definitely not take it to anyone who doesn't have specs. Any modern piece of equiptment will have the specs on it. Mine goes back to about 1970. If they don't have the specs what the H kinda alignment shop is it.

From memory the specs are caster 9-10 degrees, camber -o.1 deg plus or minus 0.1 deg no more than 0.5 deg difference side to side, and toe-in of 2-4mm. I usually make the left side half deg lower in caster and half a degree more positive in camber but I always base any alignment on the way the cars drives prior to measuring.
