Would anyone know where I could get the standard specifications for the wheel alignment on my Mk4 JH. This is using a 4 wheel alignment machine.

Here is the alignment geometry for the JH directly from the Workshop Manual:-

Front wheel alignment            0 - 0.90" toe (0 - 2.3mm)

 

Camber angle                         -1.0  deg. + or - 0.5 deg. (kerb weight)

 

Castor angle*                         +2.5 deg.  to + 3.0 deg. (kerb weight),

                                                within 15' side for side.

 

Steering pivot inclination*      7.92 deg to 10.42 deg.

                                               (or 7.0 deg 55.0 sec to 10.0 deg 25.0 sec)

 

Car must be standing level within 0.24" (6.1mm) side for side at the front and rear.

* Note To quote the manual "There is no provision for altering camber angle or steering pivot inclination"

Thanks very much, I've just acquired the Jensen and know I need a manual.
