Have your camber measured on an alignment rack.

Is there a reason you doubt the readings? What were they?

Toe is the only one that's easy to measure at home.

I was 2 degrees neg on one side and just under 1 on the other. The reason was because they said later they didnt have it set up right on the initial reading.

Sounds like they need to get their sh!t together and do it again for free.
Maybe you can get your money back and use it to pay for an alignment check elsewhere.

I can tell you this, if it was 2 degrees neg on one side and one on the other you'd hear your tires howling and from the front it look like TowMater. It would definately be obvious.
