E46 330d Touring kds alignment

[paprika]

Got my alignment done at Oldham, hugely recommended so I chose them.

Now I'm not sure if its my lack of knowledge, OCD , or just paranoia but this just doesn't seem right.

They said they couldn't get the red stuff into the green...





What sort of stuff would make them NOT able to get the red stuff into the green? I assume its suspension related but what parts ?

Front right camber probably due to damaged strut/hub assembly, check if it is actually near it's full adjustment? to give the right side more negative camber and bring it in spec the top of the strut mount needs to be adjusted in towards the middle of the car, and rear camber probably damaged right trailing arm, check the rear upper and lower TC Arms for damage as well.

At the top of the right strut under the bonnet look to see if the top of the strut has domed upwards from a hard landing, as that could need straightening as well.

The Castor I wouldn't worry too much at this stage as it is even left and right and the total toe is near the limit, once the camber is corrected and total toe more where it should be that will alter the 'toe out on turns 20 degree lock' that is used to calculate castor so alter the figure.
