GS400 Wheel Alignment
I had my lower ball joints replaced last year, and then a wheel alignment.
This year, horribly out of wack, so got another alignment.
Please analyze the results, seems I am at the far end of some of the allowable ranges:
Front Left Before and After
Camber -0.2 -0.1
Caster 7.2 7.2
Toe -0.3 -0.07
SAI 8.8 8.8
Included Angle 8.6 8.6
Front Right Before and After
Camber -1.5 -0.8
Caster 6.8 7.5
Toe -0.0 0.06
SAI 9.1 8.6
Included Angle 7.6 7.8
Front Before and After
Cross Camber 1.3 0.7
Cross Caster 0.4 -0.3
Total Toe -0.29 0.13
Rear Left Before and After
Camber -1.2 -1.6
Toe -0.26 0.19
Rear Right Before and After
Camber -1.3 -1.3
Toe 0.13 0.11
Rear Before and After
Total Toe -0.13 0.29
Thrust Angle -0.19 0.04
Mechanic said my steering had to be off, and after the adjustments I see that my steering wheel is straight but my steering wheel column goes from high to slightly lower, looking left to right.

The steering wheel was not straight when he did the alignment. As in the steering was straight when he was in the car, as he was adjusting the toe for the front, the steering wheel could have moved. As him to redo the alignment tell him the steering wheel is crooked to you.

Well, my steering wheel is straight and I believe it drives straight, will run more tests. When I said my column is slanted, that is the part below the steering wheel, not quite connected to it directly, going into the dash. Does it matter if that is not straight?
