Below is the results from last year, never done the rear for obvious reasons, this is the same place that recently powder coated the rims, and I plan taking back there once the rear struts are done, I think they got the fronts well out from what they should be?...….

1°10 for the front camber.
Half that for the Toe, so 0°05.

Rear will be where ever it fall re camber and Toe, but the Thrust angle must be ZERO.

Well they never even got that right, advises on right hand column what should be one is at 1.28 the other at 1.18, I will need to duly make sure they get it right when I go and sort the alignment out, insist and take no prisoners as they say - LOL!!!!

If they say that they can't and therefore won't, then they're in the wrong job.

1°15 or less is acceptable, as there are variations according to which struts are fitted etc, but you need it as close to 1°10 as possible. You'll notice the difference immediately between an OK set up and spot on

Before I took mine, I fitted new ball joints, removed the strut bolts, cleaned all the slots,and lashed copperslip everywhere, removed rear tie rods, greased and re-assmbled, so they had no excuses to say it wouldn't move,, also check tyre pressure before going to alignment place..
