I'm exploring wheel and tire options and curious if anyone has the full details on the OEM alignment settings. I'd love to see how conservative or aggressive the factory specs are and it will also give me a target to meet when considering wheel/tire setups.

Thanks in advance!

 

Which model?

 

Coupe R if you have them please.

 

I've also been wondering about my R Coupe's factory alignment specs. So, I asked my SA for the specs and he handed me the attached sheet.

F-Type Alignment Specs (03-19-2015) 026.pdf

I asked him whether the specs are for all F-Types or for just the R Coupe. He said that his Tech ran my VIN and the system came up with the specs you see.

 

The service manager at my dealer was trying to tell me that they had no access to the alignment specs as they were pre-loaded into the alignment machine's computer and they had no view of the specs, only the adjustment to be made.

 

"Oh, no! Not the eyebrow!" Seriously, not sure what to say. The thought of whether the alignment specs were accessible or not didn't even cross my mind--I simply asked for a copy of the specs. Wouldn't be the first time that a forum member got a different story from their dealership. The trick is knowing who (which dealer's version) to believe.

 

Exactly. I truly believe the various dealerships are expressing the truth as they know it. But I have found mine, at least, to be quite uninformed or misinformed compared to the information even that can be occasionally gleaned from this forum. Thank you so much for the data sheet, deltagroup.

 

No problem. Glad to help.

 

Here are some more detailed specs given from the dealer.

 

Interesting - they are using the front wheel camber to counter the road camber.

 

Yep, that's pretty normal. Earlier Jag models also have different settings depending on LHD or RHD.

I found this out when I imported my RHD XJR to Switzerland, the guys who did the alignment in Switzerland told me it was "way off" but after a little digging it was apparent that their machine had the LHD settings in it, and they were trying to apply them to a RHD car.

 

Hi there

Sorry to bump an old thread, are these alignment settings the same for the R AWD and SVR models please?

 

Hey guys, not sure if this is accurate, but I got this from Town Fair Tire when I had my snow tires put on. It says it is for 16-18 AWD (except SVR).16-18 AWDF-Type Alignment.pdf
