What is the correct setting for the tracking on a 2000 Dino Coupe?
Many thanks

Front Wheel camber = 0 degrees,30´ +/- 20´
Front Wheel toe in = 2 - 4 mm
Caster = 3 degrees +/- 20´
KPI = 7 degrees,30´


This is for a 2,0 litre Coupe. The 2,0 Spider has different front Wheel camber setting : 1 degree,30´ +/- 20´ ,
otherwise the same!

Hi Dinoswede
Would you happen to know the values for 2400 coupe as well
And are there any alignments for rear wheels necessary?
Cheers

Front Wheel settings for 2,4 Litre cars are the same as for 2 Litre cars.

Rear Wheel settings for 2,4 Litre Cars, both Coupe and Spider:

Negative Camber = - 1 Degree +/- 30´
Toe-in = 6 mm +/- 1 mm

In my earlier answer I forgot mentioning that Fiat has stipulated all settings are to be adjusted with the car "loaded". It is specified as 3 persons + 30 Kg luggage
for the Coupe, and 2 persons + 20 Kg luggage for the Spider !!! I apologize for forgetting that info!

Hoping this will help! / Dinoswede

Good info posted - a note more generally: the rear alignment settings have a tremendous effect on the handling characteristics of the 2400 cars, and can be modified lightly to suit your driving style or conditions encountered (i.e. if living and using the car in hilly and curvy terrain, a little more negative camber and a little less toe in will result in a car that will perform more sprightly).

Also, for a more practical use of these cars, I suggest setting the specs for alignment in trim which it is most commonly used (for example, if usually only 1 occupant and half fuel tank, set the specs with those parameters!). A precision alignment on fresh joints and bushings with good modern tires compared to worn out systems is remarkable. Of course, these concepts apply to any car, but often disregarded in favor for "by the book" (forest through the trees...).
