Alignment Question (Pictures of alignment sheet included)
So I got an alignment a couple days ago, and I have been curious about the caster on the car. I am just wondering if everything looks normal and good to everyone. I have never gotten a print out before when i got an alignment, so any input on how it looks would be great.
Before

After

As you can see the caster is set off of the factory spec, which i am assuming is the line in the middle. Also, the toe is .01 on the right and 0.0 on the left. I figure that is pretty close so in other words fine, but yeah. The guy who did the alignment said that he finds better results on having the caster that way. basically i was wondering if he is lazy and was blowing smoke up my butt or what. Thanks for looking.

That is the most beautiful alignment sheet I've ever seen posted. Caster is strut angle. The vehicle will pull to the side that has lowest caster. Many people will offset caster when adjustable by .1 to .2 degrees to compensate for road crown. On a perfectly flat road your old alignment would pull right just to help it make since. .01 is totally fine, you'll never notice it and it won't wear your tires.
hey thanks guys. I appreciate your input. It gives me a little extra peace of mind. Im getting pretty stoked to be out at Miller Motorsports Park tomorrow and Sunday. Its going to be nice.
