Default Rear alignment on IRS???
Hey guys,

My new Hurricane has an IRS that's fully adjustable. Is it safe to assume that I want to align it to "neutral" 0/0/0 specs, or do I want some caster, camber, toe in it? It's a Ford 8.8.

This will be a street, not track, car if that matters.

Thanks,

Tom

My car behaves well at 1/16 toe in and about 1 degree of neg. camber. Caster is not a factor, only bumpsteer and Hurricane is as close to perfect as you are going to find. Good luck!

My SPF also uses the 8.8 Thunderbird rear end.

They recommend 1/8 inch toe-in (1/4 for track)
1/4 degree negative Camber (1/2 to 3/4 for track)
