VXR8 wheel alignment settings

[SteveMJ]

A similar question to those I asked before, thanks for the patience :-)

My VXR8 feels a bif vague straight ahead and tend to pull to the left. I am proposing to get it re-aligned next week and inspection for any damage that may have occurred.

What are the alignment settings, all I have is the print out:

The figures clearly show the alignment to be correct.

I would suggest the following course of action:

Check to see if it pulls left on a truly flat road, ie with NO camber. The car will naturally follow the camber on a normal single carrigeway.

If it still pulls, then its almost certainly a tyre related issue. Try swapping the tyres from one side to the other and see if it changes.

The other possibility is that there is some play in a suspension component. Does the tendancy towards pulling left change under braking or acceleration?
