[DeTomaso] Steering wheel wobble

[Jim Gray]

Those sound like good specs especially with modern ever-so-slightly-wider 
tires.  You didn't mention your rear settings???

I just spent a couple of days aligning the front of 5332.  So, timely
question.  What I recommend, based on all the comments I have garnered from
the forum and suppliers:

Camber:  0
Caster:  As much as you can get as long as both sides are roughly the same.
If you add offset bushings you can boost caster up to around 4 degrees,
which helps fight tramlining
Toe-In:  1/8 inch

While on the subject, I was going to take my car to an alignment shop for my
front end, but do not know the specs - Camber, castor, toe. Do they know
this? Or do I give them the specs? I don't know what they would be. Any help
out there?
Thanks,
John
