It seemed like maybe you wanted to know the stock settings.
According to Haynes, rear toe-"out" should be 1/32nd to 3/32nds (.079 to
2.38mm). 
One hopes the shop should know how to shim to get that.
While I've got the manual open, camber should be 0 to 2 degrees.
Hope that helps,
Nick Moseley

Hi all,

I just had the alignment checked on my spitfire and the shop told me that
one of my rear wheels is toed in and the other is toed out.  The wheel that
is toed out is is specs and the other one will be in spec by moving the
radius arm with 1 shim.

The only problem is that they/I do not know enough about the spitfire rear
end geometry to tell me if I need to add the shim or remove the shim.

Can anyone tell me which I need?

Thanks
