I would like to know the factory recommended toe-in/out, camber, caster angle for the new 2014- 3 wheeler.
Front wheels of course.
Thank you.

Don't know whether this helps but Peter Dron in his M3W book suggests for an unladen vehicle, zero toe-in and 1.5 degrees negative camber if you can adjust this. I guess this assumes you have at least the comfort kit fitted, and worth confirming via official sources.

Hi Richard, the figures you quote are for the Empire kit.
My 2013 car came with lots of toe out unladen which was supposed to self correct when laden. We all know what supposed did.
If you have the comfort kit or the later uprights zero degrees toe is the way to go.
Camber is not adjustable.

Camber is not adjustable. Yes I only mentioned camber as the OP asked. I understood the figures I quoted were good starting points and not exclusive to the Empire kit, assuming there is no or minimal wheel geometry change when suspension is compressed. Since the OP mentioned latest spec car I assumed it was at least fitted with the comfort kit, which goes a long way to achieving above.

According to the owner manual ( so this applies to a standard unmodified car ) , the Toe out is 2mm each side , 4mm overall.
No castor / camber data.

No castor / camber data. For the sake of clarity could you confirm that's for a 2014 spec model with comfort kit.

Dab, with the Empire kit the caster AND camber are both adjustable.

Yes they are but only minimally. The best solution would be to have rose joints on the bottom wishbone as well as it is too easy to run out of adjustments with just the top one as I have on one side.
I can only get 1.25 degrees camber on the off side where 1.5 is easily achievable on the near side. This I would think is just down to manufacturing tolerances.
So I set both sides to 1.25 with zero toe, with 75 kgs of ballast.
This gives a good steering feel and it generally goes where you point it within reason.
Its no Elise or Caterham but its not meant to be.
