Over an inch of total toe on the rear! How many miles did you drive like that? How many miles are you getting out of your wheel bearings and tires?

BTW, I think the Firestone guy was on crackcaine .... the same guy that couldn't do the alignment can't be trusted for the "before" numbers either ........ I don't think you were running +1" toe (I think dude didn't know how to work the rack)

Another consideration - he's lying to you about the control arm being bent. I was involved in a scam a long time ago in which an alignment shop was caught telling more than a few customers that a control arm was "bent" so they could add that onto the bill. Look it over closely - compare it to another.

It just looks wrong. Yes the LCA could be bent, but no need for toe and certainly not different L:R. It is easy to get 1.5 up front, but 2.5 I can't get in an AP2.

Heh. My bad.
Never even looked at the date. How the hell did it make it back to the first page?

How do you convert degrees and minutes into mm or inches?

This is what I have my car currently set at...
