What are VYs' wheel alignment settings? (toe, camber, caster, axis)

Chevrolet Tahoe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's an SUV, radically different to a VY

The most important question is.. does it drive straight?

Thank you for pointing that out! I was going to reply to CONROD but then just said F it.

The vehicle on the screen doesn't mean much when doing the alignment. It's the actual wheel readings that matter. The technician probably knows what the VY's settings are and did them from memory. Some machines need a vehicle to be input to show the readings.

ummm no he didnt. He was aligning my car to Chevy Tahoe's settings...down to a T.

Anyway, car feels weird now. Especially at turns/curves at high speed. Its not very stable when turning at a curve. Steering feels too light and i have to twitch the steering wheel to keep the car at a steady turn. It feels like the slightes wrong turn of the steering wheel will throw the car off balance. Basically, very poor handling.

Same goes for straight lines. If im doing lets say 100km/h, and im keeping the steering wheel steady, the car will keep on changing lanes, like it would go to the middle lane, then to the right lane and then back to the middle and then right and so on...all this and the steering wheel is not turning at all.
And yes tiers are all the same size, thread and make...and new. Shocks and springs are also good.

Thats why i need to know the proper alignment numbers of the VY commodore so i could do it right.

This might help you out.
These are Australian specs.
I don't know too much about wheel alignment. Someone else on the forum may know if they differ for the left hand drive Commodore.

They will drive well and wear tyres well between 0-1 degree front camber, 1.5-3mm total front toe in.
If your rear cambers are below -1.5 degree your doing well. With roughly same toe settings as the front. They will always wear inner edges on the rear, regular rotations are a must

Here's a printout of a recent wheel alignment (VY utility) that may help too.

Ok...according to the settings that SaVYute posted, which im assuming are from the service manual, the total toe in is 0deg. 10min +/- 0deg. 10min

i just cant figure out what "min" or "minute" is.
I didnt see min on the computer screen of the alignment machine when they did my wheels. It just read 1 degrees. 3.

Plus, do the numbers above change according to wheel size? Mine are 16"

If you run your commodore at 0 toe your gonna have a bad time.
