Default front suspension and steering alignment

Hi

I think I should check in my Blazer front suspension geometry after changing some parts but I can not find any data for proper alignment for example toe-in. Could you tell me what shoul I check and what is proper data to set it up?

Thanks in advance, Marcin

i would deffinitly get it on a alignment rack before u spend more money on tires than u should have to if your toe is off u could cause what its called a dragging tire and it doesn't take long at all before that blows out and if it is a repeated process it wears out your suspension componets quick on a 4wd your front needs to be straight up and down and toed in just a lil bit cause with the front toed in a lil bit the force of going forward pushes the toe out to were it needs to be when driving but i would take it to an alignment shop that specializes or is real familiar with 4wd alignments.

Hi

I bought data and now alignment was set up properly. The problem was that Blazer was rather rare car here in Poland and mechanics had no alignment data for it.
