Hi,
So I was reading through the FSM since I am about to do my first home alignment (strings and a SPC C/C bubble level gauge with car leveled on 1/8" tiles). I also had written down the factory specs from a few threads I found on nico. However, my mind is now blown. The SOHC FSM rear suspension section's alignment settings say toe out. (Page 563/952 in this http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/240sx/1989/) Is that right? I am almost sure that Nissan would spec the toe slightly in for straight-line stability and because regular folks don't like oversteer. Previous alignments I have gotten I have always had slight toe-in. The search results I have found say toe in. In the front alignment section, it does say toe-in, so I don't think it's a question of plus or minus signs on the toe spec... Feel free to flame me if I simply haven't searched enough.

That's probably a typo. My 91 FSM says toe-in with the same specs.
