My car hooks prety good now, but when we put the upper adjustables in we kinda think :? we got it adjusted right. Well now I'm taking it to a real suspension guy next week to have it set right and wondered what neg degree I should tell him I want it at. Some say -4 degrees with stock rubber bushings. Woukl like some help with the decision. Thanks-Russ

I have been told -4 degrees also for my malibu. The person that told me that is a chassis guy and has had 2 malibus. He also did not say whether or not that was with rubber bushings. He is going to set mine up when I get my parts in.
 
Start at 4.

The short version is then less play in your suspension the smaller the angle.

I am either heims or sperical joints every where and run -1.
