My camber results print out

So are these good reading's?

Well they've played with camber caster and toe on the front.
Rear looks unchanged.
Steer ahead is a term I don't recognise but 0.00 sounds like a nice number to aim for I guess Anyone know what steer ahead is? I can guess but don't know for sure.
Was that done purely by adjustments or did anything need straightening or replacing?
BTW I envy you if you've got suspension that adjusts all three! I can only do toe and caster.

Assuming the description on the printout matches your car then the numbers on a green background represent being within specification, yellow = iffy & red = dodgy
So rear left is toed in a little more than ideal but so long as you keep an eye on wear might be OK. Have you lost it on a roundabout and whacked the rear left on a kerb or some such thing
Front caster is also just outside ideal but as it is the same both sides wont affect wear and will only make the steering feel a little bit heavier and self center a bit more. Some people like this!

Just spotted the total rear toe is red maybe worth a look to see if something is bent but I wouldn't worry too much if it drives OK and the tyres wear evenly.
What did the garage say.
I suspect the tolerances are indicated on the printout but cant read them because the image is too low resolution. If you email me via my profile I'll reply with an email address you can send an attachment of the higher res image to. I'm making a home brew alignment system using laser spirit levels and would be quite interested to see your printout in detail.
All the best

Garage said pretty much the same as you with regards to the rear. The tyre has done 8 thousand miles and seems to be wearing ok for the moment. I'm just worried that I will scrub out the inner again with in 1600 miles. I do believe however that was due to the tracking being off the scale with ton's of toe out!

Thanks,

Ash

"Steer ahead" is another term for "clear vision". It has to do with the centering of the steering wheel, if toe is out of spec then steer ahead will be as well. If you have a steering wheel with horizontal spokes and toe is set properly then when the front wheels are straight ahead, the spokes on the steering wheel will be horizontal and level.

Lol I didn't even notice steer ahead!

How do they measure that then? Must have to put an inclinometer on the steering wheel or is it just a way of indicating when the steering direction has the toe equal on both sides?
Hold on... I think I get it. It's the same as thrust angle for the rears
(RearLeftToe-RearRightToe)/2=ThrustAngle
(FrontLeftToe-FrontRightToe)/2=SteerAhead
With a bit of rounding error thrown in that agrees with the printout.
As it's calculated off of the toe measurements only, with no actual measurement back to chassis reference points, it does assume the chassis's square which MIGHT be OK for a new car but is a bit of a leap of faith for something that's left the forecourt.

"Try and learn something new every day" that's my motto. I can go back to bed now then
