Are the pictures still in your storage bin?
If so you need to make an album and put them in there.
Then you can link them

Ok got them up. I got this done at firestone. I am THE WORLDS WORST SUSEPENSION PERSON. can anyone fill me in on how to read this, I asked them but they were really shady about it.

 

Pictures still are not working I'll try and help you out when you get them up

 

 

Thanks for getting those up VTEC-DA.

 

Sorry they are sloppy, they were scanned and shrunk

 

It looks like they did as little work as possible to get your alignment into factory spec. That's all most of those places can do anyways. The question is this: what good is rear wheel thrust angle on a front wheel drive vehicle?

 

You don't want any rear wheel thrust angle-it means the rear wheels are turning one way or the other. 0 degrees is ideal. It does not matter if the vehicle is FWD or RWD.

 

I know on RWD cars, it helps get better traction and to track straight.

 

Is the camber and toe ok or does that need to be fixed? How do I read those numbers?

 

The pics are gone again. I think the toe was OK, but the camber #'s were different between left and right. They were in spec, but not the "best" they could be for performance or tire wear. Also, those are factory specs, if you want better handling you can increase negative camber, but at the expense of faster tire wear. This is normally called a performance alignment, but you should get it done somewhere that knows what they are doing.

 

I was wondering how the factory specs would change it. Thank everyone, I'm going to ask them to do it right or give my money back.
