Default Steering Measurement, specs

I was wondering if any one had the toe specs, for a 1997 1500 4wd , I bent the lower bar, and need to adjust it enough till I get close till the new bar comes in, the camber and caster adjsutments , specs would be good to if anyone has them
Thanks Mel

You can not adjust camber on a 4x4, without purchasing adjustable ball joints. However, the closer to -4 you can get with the caster the better. And there was a DIY toe adjustment, I'll be damned if I can find it! LOL

Default Thanks zman

Thanks for the advice, the caster setting is in degrees correct? I would have to take this for alignment, to get that correct, I just did not want to pay for it twice ( one for now and one in two weeks) till I'm able to install the bar. I just installed a 5 inch lift , and like a dumbass did not mark the the cam bolts, can anyone send me a pic of there cam bolts to get them close , till I'm able to get to the alignment shop, I found the DIY for the toe adjustment. After the lift install my steering wheel was off I adjusted back to center. I notice i need to replace the steering shock. Then today I went for a quick ride and got the death wobble, I know it was not my track bar, because I replaced this three days ago new, so i'm thinking its the steering shock , or the steering bar thats bent, or the alignment? one of the three,
Any input or pics of the cam bolt positions woudl be great ,,, thanks again
