I had a 4 wheel alignment yesterday and would be interested and appreciate to understand if these have been adjusted correct degrees.

After adjustment

Total toe(FA) 0.22
LF Toe-in 0.10
RF Toe-in 0.12
LF Camber -1.63
RF Camber -1.34

Total toe(RA)0.75
LR Toe-in 0.51
RR Toe-in 0.24
LR Camber -1.81
RR Camber -1.85

Thrust angle -0.13

Wheelbase difference 0.05
Track difference 1.04
Front wheel setback 0.03
Rear wheel setback 0.09

Thanks

If that's on standard suspension (correctly ballasted & balanced with simulated driver & fuel), then the factory figures are:

Front Camber -1.0º(±0.3º) - with no more than a 0.3º difference between left & right
Rear Camber -1.8º(±0.3º) - with no more than a 0.3º difference between left & right

Front Toe: 0.03º to 0.13º
Rear Toe: 0.18º to 0.28º

So that's why the rear end is always stepping out smile

Thanks for the info.

There is quite a bit of difference between my Left and Right rear Toe is this something I should be concerned about?

LR Toe-in 0.51
RR Toe-in 0.24

Shouldn't toe in be shown as a negative number?

I would have thought both should be at least similar.

Hadmine done this morning, do these figures look right? They didn't change (charge me for) anything so not sure why there are any before and after results

Is there any camber setting shown on that? It just looks like toe to me.

That's all I got, maybe that's why it's free!

Do I need a camber read out? Just read this..

The good news is that most modern cars only have adjustments for toe. Caster and camber went the way of the dodo thanks to the McPherson strut.

Edit:

This is how a full read out should look I think, maybe the guys I went to had a basic system
