wheel alignment

Hi all - well another year's MoT as from this morning - one thing I am not happy with yet is tracking - car pulls to left slightly - new brakes and tyres fitted, bushes all good had wheel alignment done and still it goes left a tad...
Anyone got the figures for camber / toe in/out etc for the front of '99 XJ8 ?
I dson't reust the local guys with their excellent electronic kit - too casual and too damn fast about how they do the job and set it up...but I suspect front left lower wishbone settings - had new bushes and it hasn't been same since

cheers

RE: wheel alignment

what do you have caster set at? i usually set it at 5.0 on the left and 5.5-5.6 on the right for road crown and when you had the bushings replaced.. did you have the car on the floor or on a drive on ramp.. and with the bolts loose shake the suspension..and then tighten? as the car settles down.. if it was tightened in the air.. the car is constiantly being slightly lifted as you are driving down the road..and also have you tried swapping tires left toright on the front? makes a big difference if one tire has a belt that is shifted..hope thishelps..
