So my '96 Camaro had been out of alignment for a bit and I finally got some free time to get it taken care of. It had been pulling to the right, not horribly but noticeable. To go straight, the steering wheel would have to be a little to the left. So I took it in to Les Schwab and this is the print-out that they gave me afterwards, which I can't decypher:
Code:
Front: Left
Actual | Before | Range
Camber: 0.0 | 0.0 | -0.1 to 0.9
Caster: 4.3 | 4.9 | 4.3 to 5.3
Toe: 0.00 | 0.02 | -0.10 to 0.10
SAI: 14.1 | 14.1
Included Angle: 14.1 | 14.1
Front: Right
Actual | Before | Range
Camber: 0.0 | 0.1 | -0.1 to 0.9
Caster: 4.6 | 4.4 | 4.3 to 5.3
Toe: -0.02 | -0.03 | -0.10 to 0.10
SAI: 14.1 | 13.9
Included Angle: 14.1 | 14.0
FRONT:
Actual | Before | Range
Cross Camber: 0.0 | -0.1 | -0.7 to 0.7
Cross Caster: -0.3 | 0.5 | -0.7 to 0.7
Cross SAI 0.1 | 0.1
Total Toe -0.02 | -0.01 | -0.20 to 0.20
Rear: Left
Actual | Before | Range
Camber -0.2 | -0.2
Toe -0.07 | -0.03
Rear: Right
Actual | Before | Range
Camber -0.2 | -0.1

Actual | Before | Range
Cross Camber 0.0 | -0.1
Total Toe -0.04 | -0.02
Thrust Angle -0.05 | -0.02 | -0.25 to 0.25
(That's a lot of typing!)
So after I left the shop, I notice that I hold the steering wheel straight to go straight, great. On a flat road though, if I let the wheel go, it still drifts to the right though not as dramatic. On the freeway, does the same. Tried it on every street, freeway, and road I could find. Still pulls to the right.
To elimate the tires, I rotated the tires and the pull is still there. The shop has a 30-day warranty on alignment jobs so I'm guessing I should go back and ask them to take a look at it. Anything look out of place?
