My Alignment Readings

Had my car re-aligned this morning: Here are the readings -

FRONT:

Camber: Left -0.9; Right -0.4 (centered at -0.4)
Cross Camber: -0.4)
Caster: Left 1.9; Right 2.4
Cross Caster: -0.5
SAI:
Toe: Left: 0.10; Right: 0.10
Total Toe: 0.20


REAR:

Camber: Left: -0.7; Right: -0.1
Toe: Left: -0.27; Right: -0.31
Total Toe: -0.57
Thrust Angle: 0.02

(at the bottom, a little text that reads: Adjust Rear toe)

Does these look in specs? anything to worry about?

cheers - Noela

Looks pretty good, your car may pull to the left alittle on a flat surface. Dont worry about it through on normal roads with a road crown it will go pretty straight.

Your caster is out of specs on the + side. My left caster is +0.6 whereas the right caster is +1.0. You might have a problem with components affecting caster. Also, your rear toe is out of specs on the - side. Mine is -0.11. While it's not excessive, you need to correct that quickly because toe discrepancy will eat your tires fast.

Here are the factory recommended specs:

Front camber -0.3 (specified range -1.8 to -0.3)

Rear camber -0.19 (specified range -1.3 to 0.3)

Front caster specified range 0.5 to 2.0

Front toe specified range 0.05 to 0.13

Rear toe specified range -0.19 to 0

You should ALWAYS request a print out with before and after readings, along with the factory specs.
