X-Type wheel alignment/geometry advice needed please!
Just had new tyres fitted after getting Thermo's magic rear upper control arm mod done (thanks again Thermo!)
Had an alignment check for free with the new tyres, these are the readings:
Front Axle:
LF camber -1 deg 13' RF camber -0 deg 34'
LF toe-in 0 deg 00' RF toe-in 0 deg 13'
Rear Axle:
LR camber -0 deg 02' RR camber 0 deg 07'
LR toe-in -0 deg 36' RR toe-in -1 deg 01'
Could anyone tell me if these readings are OK? (more or less within tolerance) or should I pay more to get all the adjustments made?
Any advice on this much appreciated.

I can't tell, but some of the numbers seem a ways off from the others..I would have a thorough full four wheel alignment done..and at least checked once a year. A trusted alignment service co. will have the correct specs. for your car..You don't want your new tires to start wearing weird.

Thanks, yes - looks like I'm out by quite a margin - although could have been worse considering we set the rear camber with a spirit level!
I'll get this done, the garage have a "hunter style" machine. Doesn't provide a thrust line reading, but seems to do everything else & is a little cheaper. Just need to convince them they can now set the rear camber although the machine will tell them they can't!
