    Agree with @TacoSupremo19 on the caster. You want caster to be higher on the right if not even. Usually you need more than 1 degree left to right to notice a difference. I'm not a fan of zero toe. I would like it to be a little positive, but we are really splitting hairs. I would give it an A-.

    Good point about the toe especially with larger tires. With a little toe in, it will keep the steering components "tight" against the deformations in the road as opposed to zero where the wheels may be be free to "shimmy" when hitting these deformations all roads have. It's these little nuances that other posters in this thread would probably notice and appreciate. haha

    I'm 64 and retired from the Tire and Repair Industry. I've been to the Firestone Complete Auto Care Alignment School in Chicago, considered one of the best in the Country, twice. You Sir, are spinning your wheels. Listen to these professionals that have time on the head units.

    Is this really jacked up? I feel like the side to side numbers should be closer to each other, especially the toe. Overall, the truck actually drives better than before, however there is a slight pull to the right. After reading up on this a little, I think the left side caster should equal or less than the right to help account for this and the crown on the road. They said this is the best they can do. Is it really, or did you get tired of working on it? I'm thinking about taking it to another shop for a second opinion.

    I'm not sure I would have paid for that. Did they say that your adjusters are maxed out? You may need new UCAs to get your caster increased. It shouldn't pull based off that print out. You need almost a full degree difference left-right to get a pull from caster.

    They didn't say that. I just told them what I was aiming for and this is what I got. The pull albeit very minor, was not there before I went in. The bump steer is improved some from before though too.
