Subject:Re: Front End Alignment Needed?

This sounds interesting!. However....

their web site says it is used for toe alignment. No mention of anything
else being measured.

Looking at the Bently, on page 44.2 - it provides specs for camber and
caster, as well as toe..

Are these routinely adjusted during an alignment?
