Alignment before and after - does this look right?

[fly]

I know practically nothing about wheel alignment, but I see there are some red numbers in the 'after'. Does this need sorted?

I don't know if the camber can be adjusted, but those toe settings are pathetic.

Yep, makes sense.

But just in case someone else is reading that doesn't understand - can you point out which is camber and which is toe, and what a less pathetic setting would be?

[SlimJim16v]

Looking at the front settings, toe is top/first then camber is next down. There is no excuse for it being that different side to side after adjustment.

Nothing else has been touched, but I don't know if they're adjustable or not.

I would be going back to give them the opportunity to fix it. Those after results are not acceptable, everything should be in the green areas.

According to the thread above, you can't adjust camber on standard car, you need some kind of adjustable bolt kit. If I've got the same car.

Yup, cant change camber in standard form on most Mercs (inc my CLS) without modification. That chart looks pretty typical for a "tyre-place" four wheel alignment. Adequate and within tolerance, looks like they just changed the front toe settings.

I recall my 'after' print-out for my 911 from Center Gravity. All the settings were absolutely bob-on what they were aiming at. Its no mean feat as the alignment changes constantly when you change other settings, so its an iterative and time-consuming process to do properly.
