I recently had to have the LF outer tie-rod replaced as well as the LF body mount due to failed parts from the factory (at less than 3200 miles). Both of the front tires had to be replaced as well due to excessive abnormal wear. I received the alignment numbers (before and after) and would like input on them from someone who has alignment experience. Are the after numbers OK? Am I good on this alignment?
There is a slight pull to the right when the steering wheel is released and I have heard this is intentional to force a vehicle to drift off to the right side of the road to prevent it from going into oncoming traffic (not sure if this is an old wives tale or not). I prefer the drift to be neutral (not pulling in either direction).
Here are the numbers:
BEFORE:
LF Camber = 0.1
LF Caster = 0.3
LF Toe = 0.65
RF Camber = 0.0
RF Caster = 0.3
RF Toe = 0.66
AFTER:
LF Camber = 0.1
LF Caster = 0.4
LF Toe = 0.05
RF Camber = 0.0
RF Caster = 0.0
RF Toe = 0.0
