I don't know the factory specs anymore but on my 75 I had it aligned to factory specs twice and both times I was unhappy. The last time I aligned it to more performance specs which were -.75 camber , + 2.75 caster, and 1/16 toe in. For the back the same -.75 camber and 1/16th toe.
These specs worked great for me and are easy on the tires.
One of the most important things are that the specs are the same side to side. You can be within specs but that doesn't mean they are the same side to side. You want them the same.

:withstupid: I run .9 camber and a little more caster on the front with no tyre wear.
