Anyone have a good SAI/IA chart?

[brelandt]

I have a useless one in my text book. My hunter trainer has a "good" one but I will not see him again til mid August.

The issue with the one I have is that it seperates the SAI and the IA. It also gives way too many "could be's". As in it "could be" a bent spindle.

Need to hang this up on my machine to show customers that have a hard time believing mechanics, LOL!

Sorry for hijack brelandt.

(I dont have the chart - but why is my 12 Fit sagging in the rear and the front wheels have positive camber? Car steers like do-do. Any exp with these?

An "issue" with separate SAI and IA?
They are different, with the IA including camber [vs.SAI].
I am not sure of what you want.
A picture for customers?

I've done a few. Not much you can do to it alignment wise, but find out what your ride height ought to be and start from there. May have a broken coil out back?

I have to look again but I think my Hunter DSP 600 only shows the two combined as one number and not as two seperate things as they really are.
Reason for keeping it is that some customers want to know what is bent as this mat cause a wandering issue on some cars.

But a bent strut, knuckle, stub, or shifted frame will read the same .

Because that's the way Honda sets them up. Get you a camber kit and dial in a little negative camber up front and the car will have instant steering response. Watch out for oversteer, though. That's likely why it was set up that way...to make a smaller car with a short wheelbase safely understeer for the driving public.
