Dose any one have specs for a 355 typical Front End Alignment? This will be the 1st time doing this for my 355, are there any special Weights-Shims needed or does the Technician just set up the Toe/Camber and be done with it...
Your mechanic should have the Ferrari shims. If he doesn't, then you need to wonder how many Ferraris he has aligned. They are not the same as other cars.
Well, the "proper" way to align the F355 is to start with ride height and corner weighting. Ride height compensates for the spring sag over the almost 20 years the car has been sitting on its springs, and brings the suspension to the correct geometry with respect to the road surface. Luckily the F355 can have this done by using a spanner wrench on the spring perches. Corner weighting puts equal weight on each tire so they have a chance at wearing evenly. This process moves weight around by adding weight at one corner while removing weight at another so that in the end, the car is sitting at the right ride height and the wheels on each axle have almost equal weight, and the cross weights are equal. This enables the car to accelerate and brake in a straight line. Caster/camber/toe insures that the tires actually can wear evenly, and are the easiest and last parts of the process.
