Default Alignment assistance: Readout sheet provided

Okay folks. This is the best the shop with the "best alignment machine" in the area could do. I've put about 3000 miles on like this and the jeep pulls to the left and generally does not seem to perform as good as my previous alignment which was by their machines standards way out of alignment.

Specs are in my signature. Appreciate some insight

Well, unless you have bent axle housings the camber and rear toe readings are machine error.

The stuff that can be adjusted (front toe and caster) look pretty good.

Is the axle housing sitting the same distance from the frame on both sides? In other words, is the ride height the identical on the left and right? Is the wheelbase EXACTLY the same on both sides? Are both axles centered left-to-right under the Jeep?

Have you tried rotating tires to see if anything changes?

Appreciate the look. I'll have to measure the axle housing to be sure, but there is not visible difference and the jeep looks level. Just had the tires rotated and put 30 miles on today. Still darting to the left. I previously took the steering stabilizer off as the billstien has been known to push steering off. No change.

I don't believe the axle housing to be bent.
