alignment

What are the alignment specs for an 85 trans am? I took the car to SEARS for an alignment and then took the car on a trip about 700 miles and when I got home there was wear on the outer edge of the tires. You can see a noticeaber grove that was not there before the alignment.

Thanks.

DON'T set it to the factory specs, or that will happen. Your car is probably alaigned perfectly, by the book; but it's wrong,

Post your question on the Chassis board, there's lots of people that can give you specs that actually work for these cars.
