I only have the factory manual for the ur-quattro.  Note that the values
given in the microfiche for the ur-quattro are wrong - corrected by
Technical Bulletin 1 in March 1988.  Correct specifications for the
ur-quattro are:

Front:

Total toe 0 degrees +5'/-10'
Camber -50' +/- 30', maximum difference between sides 30'
Toe angle difference at 20 degrees left & right lock -1 degree 5' +/- 30'
Caster (not adjustable) +1 degree 30' +/- 40' max difference 30'

Rear:

Camber -30' +/- 30', maximum difference side to side 30'
Toe per wheel -5' +/- 5' after camber achieved
Total toe -10' +/- 10' after camber achieved

The actual German phrase used is:

  "Bei Einstellarbeiten sind die jeweiligen Sollwerte so genau wie
   moeglich anzustreben."

The car should be unloaded during measurements.  Tyre pressures must be
correct.  The vehicle must have covered at least 1000km since the last
time the coil springs were dismantled.
