*The Hunter toe-in specs are measured in inches, while the factory specs are measured in degrees.

NOTE: The significant discrepancy between the Hunter REAR toe specs and the factory's: as you might expect, the factory specs are closer (if I recall correctly) to the service manual.

I believe the factory alignment unit is also a Hunter. Notice also that these specs represent the initial alignment performed on the assembly line. My understanding is that this is true for both Civilian Hummers and Military HMMWVs (although I only witnessed HMMWVs being aligned). Also, I believe I was told that a second check (or possibly re-alignment) is performed at the Civilian Hummer finish-out facility.

2000 Model Trucks:

Front:
Camber Caster Toe-Total
0.0 to +.5 (left and right equal to within 1.0 degree) +2.5 to +3.5 (left and right equal to within .5 degree) 0.0 to +.19 (left and right equal to within .1 degree)
Rear:
Camber Caster Toe-Total
+.25 to +.75 (left and right equal to within .5 degree) NA -.19 to 0.0 (left and right equal to within .1 degree)

* alignment should be performed under normally loaded conditions
