Help me understand my Hunter alignment printout (Monaro)

[Codswallop]

Hi folks,

went to get the alignment done on my big boot Monaro CV8 as I've done a fair amount of motorway driving and started to notice uneven wear (driver's side iner edge) and steering pulling to the left.

Went to a hunter alignment place that was recommended to me, but I have a few reservations. Firstly, it took about 1.5 hours to do - is this normal? Also, at some point the guy did something on the screen and I saw him change some parameters so the display and print off said "modified specification" after - not sure if that's correct?

Secondly, car is till pulling slightly to the left, but guy says everything is correctly adjusted. Here's the read out:



He claims he cannot adjust the rear n/s wheel as it's non-adjustable, but that tyre wore evenly despite apparently being out (just replaced it and had a good look). Do the adjustments look okay? Any other cause for the car to still be pulling left?

Ps. I tried driving on the wrong side of the road to allow for road camber, but the car still pulled toward the left/ centre-line.

These are from the FAQ for 04 CV8 alignment, but not sure how to transpose the numbers into the chart above:

Camber: -12min +- 18min
Castor: +7deg 45min +- 1Deg 15min
Total Tow: +10 min +-10min

Front N/S: +5min +-5 min
Front O/S: +5min +-5 min
Rear N/S: +5min +-5 min
Rear O/S: +5min +-5 min

Rear Tow: -0.5 deg

The rear camber is indeed non-adjustable. The settings at the back are nothing to be worried about.

However, the front left is running positive camber, which you dont want. Its also outside the spec on the machine, which is -12mins +/- 18 mins. (for a CV8) Which would allow a max of +6. So not a world away, but id be wanting a good negative number. Unequal camber left to right wont help any tendancy towards pulling to one side, thouygh that may not be the root cause.

Thanks Roger - I'll go back and ask to have more negative camber on the front left. I'll give you a call if any new parts are needed

Thanks for the responses everyone

Thanks fred bloggs. I should have said it pulls left more than the usual amount I'm used to with that car. That's why I tried driving on the wrong side of my private test track to check if the car would straighten out as the camber would now fall away to the right, but it still pulled left.

Think they accidentally applied the NASCAR setup

Sadly, the alignment will have to wait as the car failed it's MOT because a warning light on the cluster has blown and doesn't illuminate. Any help on the other thread greatly appreciated
