Front end alignment

Looks like I may have to have my van's front end aligned. It looks like both my front tires are wearing on the inboard side of the tread. I think this is a toe-in problem if I understand my alignment issue correctly (I doubt that I do). Has anyone had their front end aligned, and if so, any advice? Does SMB have the specs available so someone else can set it up properly?


thanks,
Herb

Herb - I got a set of specs in my binder from SMB. Mine is an '07, but if you want what I have, let me know and I'll look 'em up and send them to you.

Ditto with mine (05)...

Anyone want to volunteer to contact SMB and see if you can get parts lists and alignment charts for ALL years of SMB 4x electronically (like the original Word file or whatever), then I can post them here...?

Ditto with Quigley and any other specifications we can get electronically.

Peter, one of the service managers at SMB West, got back to me and gave me specs for my conversion. I don't know nearly enough about alignments to know if these numbers are for all similar builds (my van is an '06 model year), or does it depend more on the DynaTrac front end? I'm curious as to what specs other people have for their vans.

Camber
LF .15
RF .8

Caster
LF 4.05
RF 4.75

Toe
1/16â€Â

Scatter and Jage,

Where did you acquire your alignment specs?

Is it somewhere in the mound of paperwork I got from SMB? or is it through a call?

Thanks,

.

Mine was on a sheet the PO handed me with my paperwork, but when I pulled it up for the above post it looked more like a report from an alignment shop than SMB specifications.
