Wheel Alignment Help

[Subtle]

My Giulietta Instruction Book includes the specs needed to aline the front wheels.

Can't find anything about the correct ride height.

Can anyone supply this?

Found the answer from Gordon

So, what was it? Inquiring minds want to know!

I've always made an estimate by looking at the angle of the lower a-arm in the factory drawings.

[Subtle]

When the alignment is correct --the ride height is correct.

That is with fresh, but standard springs and shocks.

I'm going out to Don Nimi's PDM Racing and he has a laser alignment set up. We'll see if the computer has the specs for a 62 Alfa.

The following distances should be checked with 50kg in each seat and 25kg on the floor in front of each seat. In addition, the shocks and anti-roll bar should be disconnected.

To measure the front ride height, start at the centerline of the lower wishbone bushing. Measure out from the bushing centerline along the wishbone a distance of 30mm. From this point, measure the distance from the bottom of the wishbone to the gound. This is distance 'B'. Again, from the bushing centerline, measure out a distance of 280mm. From this point, measure the distance to the ground. This is distance 'A'. Subtrate the 'A' distance from the 'B' distance. The result should be 8mm +/- 3mm for all models except the Berlina and TI whose result should be 5mm +/- 3mm.

The rear ride height is the distance between the top of the axle tube and the apex of the bumpstop. The distance should be 40mm +/- 5mm for all models except the Berlina and TI whose distance should be 25mm +/- 3mm.

If you need the alignment specs, please let me know.

Good stuff--thanks v. m.
