Default Right Rear Camber

Took in the tribute for an alignment. The shop was bragging about their brand new alignment machine and how awesome it was. Buddy says that the right rear camber is out of spec and NON adjustable. I asked what could be the problem...he says...I dunno, could be a bent frame or spindle or blah blah blah blah. So I left and went to a more experienced alignment shop and he looked and said the front left coil spring was broke at the top, which is likely the cause of the right rear camber problem. Told the experienced alignment tech about what the other guys said, and he laughed. He said that guy used to work for him, and was constantly costing him money because of his inattention to details, and messing up jobs, so he fired him...

Moral of the story, Just because you have nice shinny new machinery, doesn't make it worth anything if you have incompetant people operating that machinery.
