W123 Alignment Specs

I am finishing my front suspension rebuild and want to take a crack at the alignment on my car. Does anyone have the camber and castor specs or the shop manual pages for the alignment? I can't seem to find my shop manual CD at the moment.
Thanks,

Shane

And that is why this forum is awesome. Any thoughts on how to measure the castor?

I know you alread got the info.

The Specs are not in the CD Set Manual Index.

The Alignment specs are in the Printed Service Manual.

Turn the wheels by 20 degrees one way and the other and measure camber. Here's how I did the whole job

How I adjusted the toe in / out, camber and caster on my W123 300D
