** PREFERRED SETTING is for normal steet use.

*** ACCEPTABLE RANGE in this table is for racing purposes on vehicles having the ACR camber adjustment bolt package installation procedure performed. These alignment specifications are only to be used at the request of the vehicle owner and only when the vehicle is going to be used in a competition event. The alignment is to be set back to the STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS before the vehicle is returned to normal operation.
