What I'm saying is, the toe being off my have "helped" but not the issue.
What do you mean by head ??

Cause of excessive camber.. Bend C's or axle tube. Bad ball joints can show weird numbers as well.

Adjustable upper ball joints can fix camber but what your showing seems too much.

It wouldn't hurt to have another shop you trust re-align.

Oh Nm.. Head ::

I don't think that's possible but they can set them up wrong. Going to a different shop will rule it out.

Yeah, the reflector heads they attach to the wheels. BTW I am just sitting and waiting at Tire Barn. So far they said that they have modern heads which wouldn't slip off.

But I just don't see how an alignment shop would bend the C or the axle tube during the alignment. The "before" results show that nothing was bent when I took it in.

I am back from Tire Barn. The pull is almost gone or maybe only in my head. However the technician said he could confirm a slight pull to the left but that there is nothing he could do about it.

They also said that they have modern reflector heads which don't slip off. Funny though that the FR camber is back to normal.

I bet the pull is coming from the caster but unfortunately I don't have adjustable control arms. I will do a tire rotation in the next days.
