suspension problem
so you dont think i need to drill anything out so it can slide further....I know it might sound dumb but i dont think the guy was just trying to get it "green".....I think he was trying to get it to the factory specs but now it wont slide any further out ...and the personal issue I have with it is that one side is further out than the other how is this possible ? does existing tire wear play a role in this ?
You're looking to obtain a specific setting, such as camber, for instance. There is a number that the factory sets up as a good setting for "normal" street driving, and then a range that is sort of OK, and also allows for some variation, to help reduce costs for warranty adjustments.
From the 1996 factory shop manual (page 3A-6), the camber setting is called out as 0.4* +/- 0.5*. This also translates to the "green" of the Hunter read out. In other words, the green of the Hunter machine would be (-).1* to (+).9*. That's not to say that those numbers are ideal for "performance" driving, but they are what the factory says are acceptable.
Strictly from an "eyeball" standpoint, your a-arms should be favoring the inner sides of the adjustment slots, because lowering the car naturally causes the camber to go negative, meaning you need to add some positive camber to offset this. However, given the age of the car, and possibly unknown history, your adjustments may vary....
