Comment on my alignment report please

Just had it done 2 hours ago. Drove some local and freeway miles, felt mch better.

It was done by Southwest Alignment in Houston. I told the technician to maximize the caster but he only got 3.x first time but I said I want something like 5.x. He asked why and I explained based on what I learnt from Harper 7.

Anyways, he finally could get 4.3 on left and 4.9 on right. LC UCAs was set at 0, he didn't touch it.

Mr. White I have no clue how to read that report and it's a Friday night so all the smart folks are probably several beers deep by now... But If you had them max out the caster as far positive as possible and it drives straight I say you are good to go...(For legal purposes I must remind you I know nothing about cars)

But your post did motivate me to go get mine done today and even with tons of new added weight and bigger tires they said it tracked straight and didn't need any alignment.
:cheers:

Looks pretty good and should have really tightened up the steering with straight tracking.
I cheated a little bit with the LR UCA's to get max caster and set the big top nut(ball joint) about a 1/4" in(pencil width) at zero setting rather then the whole way out to get more camber and thus could get more caster.Mentioned it in a bunch of post.

Here's my last alignment with the Total Chaos UCA's I re-installed last fall and that was at max caster for them.
