Keith,
                 If you have stock components in your front end, you need to 
add 1/8 " toe-in as the tires will toe-out at speed. If you have poly bushings 
everywhere and heim rod ends in your tie rods, you can get away with 1/16". 
Chamber is ok at 0 degrees unless you have altered your ride height... then you 
have to determine if your car is prone to negative chamber because it in 
lowered( geometry stuff) This is a little hard to explain without drawings but 
I can show you at Maxton. Good Luck     Joe

any advice on what to set the front end up at... I am taking it in the
morning to have the tires balanced and the front end aliened... the caster
is preset at about 8 degrees and the question I have is what to set the
Chamber and toe in at?
