What do you guys think of this report? Looks like the alignment angles are reversed left from right...not 100% sure hence why Im asking for your opinion.

How is that suppose to be read ?

A print out is suppose to have factory settings w/tolerances.

Then it's suppose to have what your truck came in with.

Followed by what they adjusted too now. (within tolerance)

So , was that just a check then ? Or is that just part of it ? Did I miss something here lol.

They actually aligned it to those adjustments listed on the report.

They're reversed I think...truck pulls very slightly to the right. Should be the other way around to compensate for road crown.

I hate trusting other ppl to do work...almost always screw things up.

SUCCESS!!!!!!!

I just reversed the caster adjustments and verified camber moved 0.4deg on L/H which is neglible. Applied 5.4deg to the R/H and 4.6deg to the L/H and it now drives straight as an arrow on the highway and back streets.

I let go of the wheel and it deosn't pull one bit.

Garage did screw it up. At least they got my camber and toe in right.
