REAR 1948 60.4%
CROSS 1656 51.3%
RIGHT 1570 48.7%
86 lb delta in your cross weights. You want these within 20kilos (44ish lbs). Left rear too heavy. Need to move weight off LR (raise a turn on spring perch) to push weight to RF (and it will do other stuff, but you will be a lot closer). Then reweigh.

Thanks viperbob, I will pass that along for sure. They forgot to document track, setback and wheelbase per my request so I need to go back anyway.

Black993; I had a bunch of work done so it's hard to say what piece of the puzzle was responsible for what specifically, but the sum total is like night and day.

-aligned and corner balanced
-new rear toe control arms (erp)
-new front bushings (chris walrod)
-adjusted ride height (front dropped 23mm, rear actually went up 1mm.)
-added steering bracket per TSB
-tightened up a loose lower steering coupling

Unfortunately, the "before" settings were taken on the rack after the bushings and toe arms were replaced, so essentially they're useless. In general, I think the pro's say alignment should be checked once per year (~12k miles) or so.

Andreas, how did the DB get her name? It would be easier to grasp if she was Sepia Brown.

The 3/4 view is the same.

I just sedate them and do the 3-step process from Meguiar's. For obvious reasons, I do everything by hand and leave the Porter Cable in the shop.
