Can someone please tell me the alignment should be for this car? Looking back through past before and after figs, the after figs vary wildly.
Thanks

That rear alignment spec looks whacky? 4 degrees +/- 10 degrees!! That could give you up to 6 degrees toe-out?

Yeah, that does seem rather strange. That is a lot of toe-out.
Must be a typo... my Saab's manual claimed the spark plug gap was .0141" instead of the proper 0.0414" for the base Linear model. Turns out it was just the 2004 manual since the '03 and '05 books were correct. Mine was the Aero, so that specification was correct at least.
