I had a four wheel alignment done on my 1982 Westy a few months ago.
I'm positive that they did all four wheels because I sat in the bay and
assisted the technician with some of it.  It was a difficult job and the
shop manager was hounding the mechanic to hurry up and finish for the
last hour or so.  I suspect that only the front wheels would have been
done if I wasn't there to supervise.  I had to break out the Bentley and
show them the alignment specs for the rear.  The numbers were not in
their computer.
