Anyone knows the correct toe settings for a '99 Q45t? Also I want to know the factory camber settings...

Thanks

A precision alignment requires your weight equivalent in drivers seat otherwise camber and toe will be off.

Always try for perfect NOMINAL and make sure same axle cross numbers are very close not one one way and the otherside the opposite.

Caster should be equal side to side otherwise you will get drifting across the lane on level road.........not much can be done on cambered [crowned] roads with water draining pitches.

You can pull down a FSM and TSB at http://www.nissan-techinfo.com/infiniti/

The Owner's Manual is free there.

Both have lots of information you need to know, even beyond alignment specifications.

Sweet, thanks guys. While putting on new wheels (pics will come soon) I want to fix my camber, and adjust toe, I may attempt to adjust caster as well...because the car does wonder on the highway.

It is indeed a wondrous car when every component of the suspension is up to as new OEM specifications.
