Wheel Alignment Problem
My 5th gen 1997 Base lude was pulling to the right, so I went to the Dealer to get an alignment... after I got it done. The car was still pulling to the right.
I asked for a printout when the S.A. was writing me up.
When I went to pick up the car, the SA told me that they forgot to print out the B4 specs and gave me the after specs: here they are:
Left Front:
camber: -0.7
Toe: -.04
Right Front:
Camber: -1.2
Toe: -.02
Front:
Cross Camber: 0.5
Total Toe: -0.07
Left Rear:
Camber: 0.1
Toe: .1
Right Rear:
Camber: -1.4
Toe: .11
Rear:
Cross Camber: 1.5
Total Toe: 0.21
Thrust Angle: -0.00
--------------------------------------------------------------------
should my car be pulling to the right? I would figure they could get the toes to be ZERO? or am I dreaming? I am jsut upset that they didn't take the car out on a test drive after the repairs and it seems as if they were working on my car VERY fast (saturaday b4 closing)
should I be concerned? My car is pulling to the right...

Just go to your local Discount Tire and have them do one for you....that's not THAT bad - trust me, it could be a lot worst. You could have a VERY bad thrust angle - moving down the street sideways!!!!
You definetly do not want you toe set to zero the causes the car to wander down the road. The specs are to not bad, usually you want bout +1/32-+1/16 inch toe in on the front. Bad tires can also cause a pull, try switching your front tires side to side see if the pull switches. Then you no you got a bad tire
judging by the numbers in my non-expert opinion i would say it is going to pull. might want to invest in a camber kit, sorry your having problems, i know alignment issues are a pain.

the toe alignment looks fine. however, the L-R rear camber is a little disturbing. not the angle, but that there's a 1.3 degree difference, assuming the ride ht is the same for both sides, which it should be--makes me wonder: is something bent? ever had an accident/hit a curb?
also, what are your tire pressures?
