That's what I was thinking too, but didn't have time to look it up...I will tomorrow morning, if someone else doesn't answer with a little more authority. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

That'd be 3/16" for us non-decimal folk.

My bently manual says 1/16 to 3/32.

1/16th of an inch, Ok, thanks alot guys. That's where I'm going to set it. I don't think that small of a car would have 3/16th of an inch tow in. But, then again, one never knows! PJ /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cheers.gif

After you get it close, take it to a front end alignment shop & let them set it precisely...& they'll know the best setting to maximize your tires.

Yup, that's what I'm going to do Tony. I just want it as close as I can get it before taking it to the alignment shop. It's 25 miles away and I don't want to mess up the new sneekers. PJ
