Alignment Results

[Zoom Zoom Boy]

Just had an alignment done on the '05 hatch, which had some slight feathering on the rear summer tires when I changed over to winters last week.

I don't have the 'before' print-out results (don't even ask...:bang), but the post alignment results appear to all be in-spec (which is so vague) and reasonable by my inspection. That said, while I understand the basic principles of alignment and what things like camber and toe mean for instance, I am by no means an expert. Was hoping some of you, more knowledgeable than I, could look this over and provide your feedback on the results, relative to regular street driving:

Unofficial OEM Alignment Specs
Camber:
Front -1.7 to 0.3
Rear -2.3 to -0.3
Caster
Front 2.0 to 4.0
Rear N/A
Toe
Front/Rear -0.9 to 0.28

My Alignment Results
Front- Left Right
Camber -1.26 -1.07
Cross Camber -0.18
Caster -3.60 -3.17
Cross Caster 0.43
Toe 0.08 0.03
Total Toe 0.11

Rear- Left Right
Camber -1.77 -2.15
Cross Camber 0.40
Toe 0.09 0.07
Total Toe 0.17
Thrust Angle 0.01

Any areas that seem a little off or that could be improved? Thanks in advance.

i got a printout from altech last week which is prolly in the car... i'll post my results tomorrow so that we can do a little comparison...:chuckle

Camber looks fine, relatively close. Rear toe also looks fine, front toe is slightly more different than I'd like, but isn't that bad.

All in all, it looks like a normal street alignment. Nothing too far off.

Thanks for the feedback Condor. I was a little concerned with the disparity on the front toe too, even though it is still within spec. They actually said that the front right camber and toe was the primary area out of alignment on the car. I recently rotated the tires, which makes sense as to why it was the rears that showed feathering when I switched over to winters.

Appreciate the feedback and sanity check.

hmmm the ones in black are better lol

Total front toe should be around 0.08" (so thats 0.04" per side thats what I shoot for)
Total rear is also around the 0.08" (but I try to be around 0.06" at 0.03" per side)
Gotta make sure the trust angle is 0 or as close as possible

If you rear camber starts creeping up you should have your trailing arm bushings checked, but these all look within spec
