Default My alignment doesn't look right - *PICS of PRINTOUT*

Looks like I got almost -4 of camber. And I thought the toe was suppose to be set to .0? Looks like they set it to .16? What do you think of my alignment....

a little toe out in the front is fine.

the rear could have been better. they should have made that straighter. does it drive straight with a .05 thrust angle?

how slammed are you btw?

What's in the "Specified" column should be the target number, and the range is the amount of error they are allowed from that number. Looks like they didn't hit the right number on the toe.

Also, they didn't touch the camber....do you have a adjustable camber kit? If you don't that's probably why camber wasn't adjusted. If you do have a camber kit, they probably didn't do the adjustment.

Your right and that's what I was thinking. Toe is suppose to be within -0.08 - 0.08 degrees. I have .16 degrees. So this has to get changed??

I don't have a camber kit yet. I was thinking of raising the car up 1" to help with the camber and also get a camber aswell.

unless u have a camber kit, they cant adjust ur camber.

toe is off though. i prefer 0 all around. although most places wont set u exactly there unless u ask. they will set u within the specified range though, which is shown on ur printout. they missed that by a good amount, so u have all right to go back & demand them to re-do ur alignment for free.

raise it up and inch and then demand a new alignment. if you raise it up 1", your toe will be way off again.
