			Here's one set of figures from '''Nigel in SA''' for a Syncro

			I have 235/75/15 tyres. Alignment specs used at my alignment shop are below
			(with my syncro's actual values in brackets):

			'''FRONT'''

			Caster: 4.41 to 4.91 (L=5.00, R=4.01)

			Camber: 0.66 to -0.40 (L=0.18, R=0.08)

			Toe: no spec (L=-0.2, R=-0.2)

			'''REAR'''

			Caster: no spec

			Camber: -0.42 to 0.25 (L=-0.66, R=-0.39)

			Toe: -0.5 to 1.6 (L=-0.2, R=0.4)

			Regards
			Nigel, SA
