  1. Hi. Thanks for the reply. According to the printout its a decimal point not a degree?! No weight was added to the car at all and there was no data recorded at all for the castor angle. I have supplied all the data i recieved. Sorry i cannot be of any further help!! Cheers Dan
  2. Ok. Background first. Car was stolen from our house 3 months ago. Recovered 15 miles away after driven at speed over the worst sleeping policemen i've ever known. Fast enough to have ripped off the front bumper anyway!! Car taken to the approved insurance repairer. Apparently the alignment was checked both before £8500 worth of repairs and after and it was fine!! Really?? anyway, the approved repairers is 40 miles away so i thought i'd take it to a local tyre shop to have the wheels aligned. Here are the results. The test was performed on a Supertracker 4 wheel laser alignment system. Total toe (front) Min +0.53 Max +3.55 actual reading before : +2.10 after +2.50 Camber Angle Front Left Min -0˚17' Max +0˚23' actual reading before : -0˚35' after -0˚35' Camber Angle Front Right Min -0˚17' Max +0˚23' actual reading before :-0˚20 after -0˚20' Partial Toe front left before: +0.40 +1.20 Partial Toe front Right before :+1.80 after +1.30 Set back Before : +0˚2' After : +0˚15' Total Toe Rear Min : +1.77 Max : +3.55 Actual before :+5.10 Actual after :+5.10 Rear Left Camber Angle Min: -1˚35' Max: -1˚05' actual : before and after : -1˚20 Rear Right Camber Angle Min: -1˚35' Max: -1˚05' actual : before and after : -1˚20 Left rear partial toe Before : +2.90 After : +2.90 Right rear partial toe Before : +2.30 After : +2.30 Set- back Before : +0˚15' After : +0˚15' Thrust Angle Before : +0˚00' After : +0˚00' Mmmmm! My thoughts entirely!! Yes, the car still pulls to the left! Any ideas of what i can do? I"me desperate to get the car back to normal. If i took it back to the insurance approved repairers - do i have an arguement that whatever has happened is probably due to when the car was stolen? What do you guys think is the problem then? Will the fact that the rear total toe is out by that much have an effect on the car pulling to the left? Will the camber angle? I haven't got a clue and would really like to go forearmed with the right information as i'm sure i will be expected to fight for what is right!! Thanks in anticipation. I hope somebody can help Dan
