I don’t have a factory setup anymore due to the ride height issues. That makes selecting specs trickier. My rear camber was close to neutral. As soon as the car loads, I regain some and under load, I’m probably at spec. I’m a bit puzzled about my ride height be close to spec and the camber not being at spec. Maybe I have shims in there after all…a dealer claimed to put them in and that they didn’t’ help. Rear toe is out of spec on one side and in spec on the other. Total toe is ok. The Hunter specs seem to be from the newer WIS numbers that ignore ride height. The Hunter specs list the minutes, but not the degrees. The system relies on visuals and less on number accuracy which encourages sloppy work.

I thought it odd that he didn't bother with rear toe as folks here stress that. He probably didn’t know what to adjust. The Hunter machine had a pop up about some things not being adjustable and he must have figured nothing can be adjusted. He wasn't thrilled with my printouts and almost sent me to the dealer. Shops tend to now like fussy customers. I was in a pinch and don’t know of anywhere better. My experience is many alignments are not done right, especially the first time. Now that I have to go back, he'll have to do it right I hope or give me my money to go elsewhere because he didn’t do a four wheel alignment and the two he did aren’t right. AMEX might help if they put up a fight.
