Reading 4-wheel alignment report

[//j17]

Hi,
Had my car in for a 4-wheel alignment check and am now confused by the report printout so hoping someone can tell me what the numbers actually represent.

Here's a snippet of the report for the left rear wheel:



I believe the arrow is telling me I have too much negative camber but I'm not sure what the numbers are telling me. Is my current camber -2.2, or is it -2.2 from the manufacturers standard setting? And what do the two smaller numbers (-0.6 and -1.6)represent? Are these just to give some scale to the bar, so the graphic is showing a section of the camber scale between -0.6 and -1.6 with the manufacturers standard setting being in the middle of this range (i.e. -1.1)?

I know what needs to increase/decrease but I'm getting confused trying to work out how much different things need to change to buy sufficient shims (not a run of the mill car even alignment centres have shims in stock for.

Thanks for your help,

The way I read it the arrow indicates your actual (-2.2deg) and the -0.6 to -1.6 figures indicate top and bottom limits. Anywhere in the green (between -0.6 and -1.6) is "good enough" for the factory settings.

Ah, so the small, white numbers on the red background are actually the upper and lower limits of the green, centre section - would make sense.

I think one of the things that throws me is having an arrow between the green and the "-1.6" text and an actual of "-2.2", suggesting that "-2.2" is a setting between green and the "-1.6" outer limit of the red.

its not the clearest design of data presentation
