Default Stock Geometry settings for rear suspension

I just finished up doing a full bushing swap on the rear of my 92. It rides 110% better, problem is now it looks like everything is out of whack. I swear I put it all back where it was....honest lol.

Anywho, Ive been doing alot of searching and the only settings I can find are for "modified' suspension setups.

The only thing Ive done are the bushings and I'm rolling on TT wheels.


Can anybody please direct me to somewhere that I can get the full stock geometry settings for the rear of my car?

Thanks for your time

are you talking about the alingment specs? if so why would you want to go stock anyways. im not saying you should run crazy setup like a track car but the factory setting are way too conservative and will not give you any gains. you did all the bushings probably due to cars age and to get better grip out of it right? then why run stock specs.

for nice conservative alignment specs run this:

camber: F/R -1.5/-1.0
caster: as much as the alignement shop can give you
toe: 0 all around.

Ok, so bare with me...

Do each of the marks on the degree plates stand for one degree and work in clock like directions?

Where is the align mark? Top center?

Thanks alot for the help!!

I plan on it, but in my current situation, I cant. For now, I just need to get it as close as I can myself.

the toyota Supra factory service manual is available for download on www.clubna-t.com, you can find out there, as the suspension is identical.
