Weird, the factory specs specify different caster and camber per side. I guess that's one of those trucks with the asymmetric suspension components, and the difference is to compensate for variations in flex/give/geometry side to side.

All in all, the alignment isn't too bad except for the camber which is positive on one side and negative on the other.

I hate to say it, but when they tell me "that was as far as it would go" most of the time I think they are either incompentent or lazy. I have no doubt that it's possible that some vehicles could be off from the factory or due to accidents that actually do make alignments a best effort sort of thing, but I suspect most alignment places use that as an excuse.

I used to work at a bar, and the bar manager told me, "if anyone asks for a frozen drink, the blender is broken," and that was a house rule the entire time that I worked there (nothing wrong with the blender, but frozen drinks were a PITA and time consuming.
