    I did geomettry settings last week, but I was unable to adjust the Front left hand side CASTER within factory recommendations, that is, ferrari says aprox 5,30 (plus or minus 0,15) and the maximum I could achieve was 4,45. What can I do?

    I just realized that the rear CAMBER settings vary from owners manual to owners manual. In my cars service book it says set camber to 1,20 - 1,40 whislt in the 348 owners manual downloaded from the net it says 1,50 - 2,10 !!! What is the correct value?

    Sounds like you are using the alignment shims on the lower A-Arm chassis pivot point. Caster is also adjusted by the caster shims near the lower ball joint at the hub.

    This is one of those numbers which might be pre/post Specialé dependent. {I don't know, I'm working off F355 data}. I suspect the 1.5-2.0 spec will suit you better.
