I got an alignment today. It was windy when I left the shop. When i got above 45 it seemed kinda squirly. Do these figures show anything?
sorta wants to pull right now doesnt it?
they didnt really compensate for a road crown, if i had a suspension that was setup to make camber adjustable (as i see your car is due to the fact they adjusted camber) i wouldve pulled the left front side a tad closer to zero and brought the rear camber closer to -.5 or so that way you give up a little but of handling to gain better tire wear
then again what are you trying to accomplish with this alignment? handling or tire wear? also check your air pressure, ive seen lazy techs use air pressure to cheat tire pulling

I was trying to accomplish an alignment. I was hands on, just not by "legal standards". The problem is that when I get above 45, the dang car wants to shimmy back and forth. It does not drive itself. It wants to go right and then left and then right. Now I know that I had some serious toe out before which would add some serious straight-line stability to my drive, but now it feels like I'm being blown around by the wind constantly. I don't know what the problem could be.
