3ES Wheel Alignment

3ES Wheel Alignment
Just had an alignment done and I noticed that the shop I go to did not touch the camber on the front wheels. It's within spec (green on both sides), but the values are not identical. My suspension is all stock except for the sway bars, and I'm on factory wheels.
If I let go of the wheel, the car will start to go right. I'm not sure if that's caused by uneven camber settings or by the curvature of the road.
Is my alignment all good or should I go back for this?

Roads have whats called road crown and its to allow drainage during a rain. The slope is angled towards the curb so its natural for cars to be pulled in that direction. It could be as simple as that. Honestly from what I see your camber is no where near enough to cause a pull and if I were doing this I would leave it alone as well as its not going to be a noticeable difference to warrant the time it takes to adjust camber.
I wouldn't go back, just my opinion, but they did there job, toe and thrust angle are what need to be corrected or else you'll get some serious pull and tire wear.

You CAN tweak camber by loosening the strut bolts you don't necessarily need camber bolts but it's a bit of a pain most alignment shops won't bother. Find a level road for example a middle lane and observe how the car tracks.
