I need factory algnment spec for 2006 Z. thanks

 

Unless you're doing it yourself, any respectable shop will have them.

 

 

Why are camber and toe different from side to side? I assumed they would be symmetrical. I have actually noticed that my rear passenger side wheel is very, very slightly more negatively cambered than the rear driver side (and the shop said they got it within OEM specs). I guess this explains it, but I still don't know why they do it.

Same question goes for front toe and caster.

 

I assume you're talking about his "Initial' values, right? Those are what was actually read from the car. Ideally, you want left/right the same but in reality, most grease-monkeys don't take the time to get them that way. Once the setting is within "spec" they are finished. No matter if one side is at the bottom of the range and the other is at the top end.

Find a shop that does track/autocross alignments and chances are very good that you'll get a spot-on alignment done where both L/R are within 0.1º of each other.

 

^ Yup.

 

Ah yep, didn't read the headings on the chart columns. Makes sense now, thanks!

 

Heres what mine is at right now, pls tell me im still good with these specs.

CAMBER
FL -1.4///// FR -2.2
RL -2.6///// RR -2.6

TOE
FL 0.04//// FR 0.03
RL 0.25//// RR 0.64

 

I remember reading on here a while back that Nissan actually has two different alignment specs for 03-04.5 Z's and revised suspension (04.5+) Z's but can't find that same thread atm. Can anyone confirm this? And if that's true, i'll need to make sure the shop i'm going to has the correct factory specs for the appropriate year of my car?

Sorry about the thread jack OP!

 

The specs from the 2003 Z FSM dated in 2002 are the same as the ones for 2004.5+. There was a suspension update from 2003/2004 to the 2004.5 models but it was parts, not settings.

 

Wow. You need to get the front camber evened out side to side and you need to do something about that rear toe asap. Being that far out will kill your tires. Also i would get the rear camber down to at least -2.2 or less.
