Update on Alignment results! Car pulling to the left.
As many of you know from my other post, I got an alignment about a week ago. Didnt like the results so I got another one today. These are the results:
FRONT:
CAMBER: L -1.3 R -1.9
CASTER: L 8.2 R 8.6
TOE: L 0.06 R 0.07
TOTAL TOE: 0.13
STEER AHEAD: 0.00
REAR:
CAMBER: L -1.5 R -1.6
TOE: L 0.17 R 0.08
TOTAL TOE: 0.25
THRUST ANGLE: 0.04
The fixed my rear right camber by bending the camber arm a bit. Before it was -2.1 and by bending the arm just a bit he was able to get it to the spec. Now though I have a problem with my steering wheel. When I put it dead center the car goes to the left. What can this be and what do you think of the new results. Going back tomorrow for realignment, anything I should tell them? Is it Ok what they did with the camber arm? Thanx people, need some feed back ASAP if possible since I am going back tomorrow.

As far as the bending of the camber arm

They have some kind of machine and they just bent it from the middle a tad bit. You can barely notice it. But that was enough to pull the wheel from underneath and get in back into spec. It made some sense when he was explaining it and I was there for the whole time that he did it, and that seemed to fix that problem. I dont think that can cause anything else correct? How are the specs?

Here's mine, I had done last month. Same problem as you with right rear camber but he was able to get the right side to -1.6 and reset the left side the same.
FRONT:
CAMBER: L -0.8 R -1.1
CASTER: L 7.9 R 8.2
TOE: L 0.05 R 0.04
TOTAL TOE: 0.08
STEER AHEAD: 0.00
REAR:
CAMBER: L -1.6 R -1.6
TOE: L 0.10 R 0.11
TOTAL TOE: -0.20
THRUST ANGLE: 0.01
Your rear camber will definitely change from when the car was new. Rear springs are light.

Oh ok, but that cant be the problem, since It was even worse before I did the alignment and did not have any pulling issues. The custom work he did to the rear camber arm cant be a problem since the alignment clearly shows it only made it better.
Fortified, do you have any pulling issues at all? Does you car drive straight when the steering is centered?
