Re: How much do you like your Cavalier/Sunfire?

Sloppy steering is probably the alignment. I aligned mine to the specs, and it was still not very good. I then adjusted the camber to -1.5* and the toe to .4*(?), night and day difference, and the tires wear completely normal. Caster was whatever it was at before (around 4?), it doesn't affect handling so I didn't waste time adjusting it. I would actually say the handling is "good" with those numbers, I would give the factory alignment "below average". It handles better than most cars now.
