I've searched here and elsewhere for accurate wheel alignment specs without success. Several references say they are contained in the owners manual, however, I cannot find them. Can anyone point me to an authoritative source for both front and rear?
New to me '04 V70 got a firm bump to the rear wheel resulting in slight bend to lower rear suspension arm. I've repaired that and reset alignment with a string to zero toe. Driving results are excellent and much improved. But I'd like to know exactly what the specs should be.
Also, I realize front camber is not designed from the factory to be adjustable except by means of the play inherent in the two strut mounting bolts. Probably has less than one degree of adjustability. Though it may not make much difference in tire wear or drivability, I'd like to know what the camber should be

Here are the front camber adjusters. Find a level spot and just stand a 3 foot level upright in the center of the rim and not touching the tires. Measure the upper and lower lips of the rim as long as they are true with no excessive curb rash. Best to be no more than 1/8" neg camber but 0 is best. Do not do positive camber. The same for front toe using a measuring tape no more than 1/8" toe in. These cars will drift slightly due to age of suspension if zero toe.
