Alignment set-up results - ess three about?

[GT130]

Hi,

I am not sure how to really read these - there seem to be some missing values for set-back, king pin, steering out etc

Can anyone help in understanding these results - I was told it is spot on and very few cars he sees result in such spot on figures - it's still pulling sharply to the left though and I am trying to find other potential causes...

Thanks

Sorry forgot to mention the equip. used is Space Active Aligner and has been calibrated recently.

King pin, set bck etc see here:

I seem to recall there's noy much you can do with them easily....but lots of difference between L & R would suggest to me a bent 'shell, or bent suspension components or pick up points.
Could be the subframe out of alignment too I seem to recall.

As for pulling to the left...
9 minutes toe out on the rear right...that could tend to send the car left...
As I seem to think could lots of left rear negative camber...

GT130 - Sorry bit OT but I don't suppose you work for IBM do you? There's not many companies that use Lotus Notes any more!!

No not IBM and the company will be dropping L.Notes soon.

Ess Three - thanks for the input. They have told me the chassis is fine as it would show up on this print etc I dont really understand it all tbh..

The subframe was unbolted for the front ARB replacement - even though I understand the bolts are thick etc to try and ensure they go back correctly I think it could be subframe related - had a Passat that had the subframe moved to get to the sump and it never drove the same afterwards - did not have it aligned etc

Hopefully the garage sort the issue as unless they can get it driving correctly I will not accept it back - balance of the car is off and the steering wheel physically moves a little once you take your hands off - goes straight over to the left !

I emailed this through to APS for comment and got the reply back after I posted this thread/topic - they said the report looked fine but would need to get the car on site to diagnose any issues. Very helpful bloke from his response.

I'll update this thread when I have some news.
