Hi all
just checking in, are the suspension settings - toe in, camber, castor etc as per the Techinical Manual 9-2320-218-20 still the way to go or have folk got a better set up more in keeping with modern radial tyres rather than the original military NDCC footwear?

Re: Front suspension settings
For the most part the factory settings will be fine. But like any car they all have their own personalities so watch tire wear and it will tell you if it needs anything. One thing I am not sure about is your rather odd habit of driving on the wrong side of the road down there. The crown of the road will be right to left instead of left to right. That may, or may not, need an adjustment in the front camber settings to keep it from pulling to the left. I have not looked up the factory settings but when I did mine I think they are equal on the camber so you should be fine. That would be my only concern since these were designed mostly for right hand drive roads.

Re: Front suspension settings
Hi Rick, Thanks for your reply, will go with the standard setting as per the manual as a starting point
I really hadn't given much thought to driving on the wrong side of the road - it just comes naturally to us down under!
