Hi All,

I’m after some help interpreting and understanding these results from wheel alignment.

I took the car for two alignment tests. The first one showed some red, but they said it was fine and needed no adjustment. The second one showed red in different places to the first one and said it needed adjusting, so I had them to the adjustments.

I don’t understand why the numbers are so different between tests when they were done 5 hours apart on the same day

I’m not sure what caster is or why it wasn’t done on one of the tests.

Just after some thoughts and assistance please.

Thanks,

Some alignment people are ****.

They do a bodge/quick job of it, just get it "in spec" and call it done, their machine isn't set up properly, etc.

If you can't actually see or feel an issue don't bother, because most places will mess it up and take multiple attempts to get it right again (usually leave the steering wheel on the wonk). Unless it's someone very experienced or you are taking it to a racing tech.
