Guys and Gals,

I am trying to research rear alignment values on 3rd and 4th gen cars over time. What I am hoping to be able to get is the rear alignment specs from every f-body shop manual from 1982 through 2002. This may be the only place on the planet (other than some magical GM library in Detroit) where this may be possible.

For example, here is the page from the 1995 F-Body GM Shop Manual detailing the alignment specs for the 1995 model year:

If you have a shop manual and are willing to contribute, please add the rear specs from your manual to this thread (assuming the year that you have isn't already posted).

Thanks,

Keith
