Got a Ford Technical Data handbook in front of me and according to that Fiesta 1996 is:

Adjustment Spec (Degs) -0.1 to + 0.1
Checking Tolerance (Degs) -0.25 to +0.25

I haven't got the FRST figures in front of me but I should be able to look them up later this evening.

Fiesta's are set up with +camber aren't they?
If so, then they should toe in. No idea of the figures though :lol:

i play with mine now and again :bonkers: . i had 2mm toe in for a bit, made the steering sharper round the twisty stuff but motorway cruising was a bit of a wander. 2mm toe out is the recommended by the book but who really goes by the book :lol: ermmm well me ATM as i set it to 2mm toe out :rolleyes: :D
