hey guys, does anyone know where i can find a spec sheet or something for wheel alignment, for my gen 2 rx liberty? ive search up for specs but i cant find anything
thanks

Its in the back of the owners manual if you still have it

[LIB80T]

oh cool never thought theyd put it there, thanks

forget the manual.

Zero Toe all around,
And about 1.0 to 1.5deg of negative camber up front, rear is non adjustable

Why zero toe you may ask, 
-Any axle that is driven is under the forces of thrust.
-When you apply thrust to an axle it has a tendency to naturally want to toe-in (due to some movement in suspension bushes).
-If you put toe-in on it when static, you'll end up with excessive toe and associated tyre-edge wear

actually rear is adjustable, ive checked over and over again and the bolt in the rear is definitly a camber ajustable bolt
i was gonna set the wheel alignment to standard and give it a little extra camber thats all

[LIB80T]

or am i seriously mistaken, what does that bolt do, it looks like a camber adjustment bolt to me

[Barbbachello]

No proper camber adjustment in the rear from factory. You might be able to pull the bottom of the hub out and clamp it down but thats about it. Rear has Toe adjustment on the lateral links

You are not confused with the rear toe adjustment bolt? The one on the rear cross member?

 

@Robbks

IIRC Liberty's run zero toe from factory, due to toe out tendencies from the rear and toe in tendencies from the front.

[LIB80T]

the one on the control arm at the crossmember is toe? that seems strange

[LIB80T]

with the camber bolt kits do they go in place of one of the bolts holding the struts in?

In the rear crossmember, yes

Yes. Usually the top bolt. Get us a photo 

[LIB80T]

installing shorter struts would have pulled everything up more so the car sits lower, i assume that would have increased the camber somewhat? since i changed the struts i have noticed the camber now when i first noticed i frieked out and though i left something loose, or maybe thats how its always been and i just didnt notice

[RX25SE]

You should be able to get neg 1 to 1.5 camber with the std bolts. 

I did on the wife's gen III anyway.
