    Default Suspension type: FE1, FR1 or FE2

    The Hunter wheel alignment system at my local Qtire has 3 options for my 2006 VZ V8 SS suspension: FE1, FR1 and FE2

    How do I find the correct suspension type for my car?

    After a recent front suspension (struts, rods etc) replacement I observed the car pulling to the left when the wheel was centred. Got an alignment and balancing done and the problem is gone. But, the mechanic couldn't get the camber and caster on the front left within the recommended limits. Tried for almost an hour.

    PS: The database was set to use FE1 values.

    Thanks in advance,
    Keith

    Thanks mate. Does that mean I need to re-do the alignment with FE2 option?

    I would assume so. But seeing as though you have aftermarket suspension I'm not really sure. Hopefully someone else on here could help.

    By the way, did your Lumina wheels come with SS printed on them from factory?

    the question is did you have the car lowered or just replace the worn items with oem replacments..
    they're ss wheels by the way and they look like a sticker
    Chev badges are an instant fail

    Everything is stock. The wheels too. Yeah I guess they're stickers. BTW, the car is Chev branded. It's a Chevrolet Lumina here. The only giveaway is the manufacturers plate inside the door frame that says "Assembled in Elizabeth, SA"

    ashbox - Just replaced worn items. No mods.
