I took my Van to have it aligned, and they give you a printout of the results along with the specified range that is acceptable for the vehicle. I was comparing the sheet to what is written in the factory manual and I found a number of discrepancies between the sheet that the shop gave me and what is listed in Bentley. The printout does say "Vanagon 1980-1991 all except syncro" Most of the discrepancies have the shop numbers in a narrower range (but are within the factory specs). However the numbers for the rear Camber is way off. The shop says: Rear Camber -0.17 to 0.17 However Bently says -50' +- 30' which I calculate out to: 0.033 to 1.3 Is there an error in Bentley? or the Shop machine? I recall seeing somewhere that some machines have the wrong alignment numbers - is that it? Thanks Todd '88 Westy
