[WildHorse]

That rack looks like it's leaning/needs calibrated.

Nope

Other than @DonnieO you guys are just full of insight

First picture:
Top row: rear camber angles
Middle row: rear toe angles
Bottom row: thrust angle

Second picture:
Top row: front caster angles
Middle row: front camber angles
Bottom row: front toe angles

Got to be at least 5 deg of camber in that screen.

@WildHorse can you be more specific please? With 3k + posts you must know to to search. Or ask the alignment shop? It's hard to respond without knowing what the question is exactly.

Basically I dont trust any shops around here. So hence I didnt ask them.. as for the pics.. which show the front tires which shows rears I noticed the left v right are diff settings.. seem the right front toe was out ? Thanks.

The photos with castor in the 6s covers the front tires. If the first two photos you posted are the “after alignment” settings, then you’re fine.

I have to agree - it took me a bit to figure out what the display was trying to tell me with icons that words would have conveyed with immediate comprehension. Especially for the 'front' vs 'rear' indication, little pictures aren't always the best way. It helped a lot that I had some idea going in as to where numbers for the various parameters should fall. Shouldn't have to look at all the little pictures and the numbers to figure out what's going on

It also appears that the top two pictures were the 'after' measurements and the bottom two were the 'before'.

Right vs left measurements typically do differ slightly, particularly where adjustment capability neither exists as OE nor added later. A couple hundredths of a degree or so difference in toe normally doesn't matter and is probably within the physical tolerance of making those adjustments.

And is within tolerance of the tire tread, rubber bushings, flex in suspension components etc etc. No harm in getting it as close as possible but no point stressing about it either

Thank you gentlemen !!
