The Aligner Instructions:
On page 3 it instructs on Centerline Alignment "crabbing " (total Toe):

Bentley
44.2 Camber (wheels in straight-ahead position)

Caster can be done with out the use of the tool

sequence of 44.3
Caster
Camber
Toe

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?
