Well I just had a wheel allignment done at my local Bridgestone Tyre-Centre.

They gave me a sheet of paper with some numbers on it...

...which I don't know exactly much about...

Just wondering how these figures compare to other allignments out there?

Cheers!

It was so worth getting done. I was having random steering pulling all the time.

I would be driving along the flat and then suddenly it would be pulling to the left, then right... :| Pretty lucky I didn't crash it.

Theres a bit of play in my steering wheel, and the lack of allignment didnt help as well hehe..

So yeah, anyone can tell me how my numbers are doing?

The numbers are basically the degrees off of exactly straight on your wheels on several different axes. For a defiinition of caster/toe/camber check out this site - http://autorepair.about.com/cs/gener.../aa012201a.htm - I just found it w/ a few minutes of searching from google, probably some other better ones out there you can find if you look for like suspension basics or something. To my understanding dead on/perfectly straight everything is actually not good at all for handling, but obviously the more you change from that the more one thing or another will be affected. Anyone want to confirm that? Suspension is the one part of cars I'm still learning the basics about. But from your numbers you're perfectly fine, as long as you aren't off by a degree or two it won't make too much of a difference.
