Front Wheel Alignment
#1
I just had a front wheel alignment done since I've replace most of the front bushings, and steering and suspension components. Before I had the alignment, it pulled just a tad to the right; now it pull even more to the right. The shop switched the strut mount position from the front and in position (original spot) to the rear and out position. I have the readings from the alignment computer .

Do the positive degrees on the camber mean positive camber? I was hoping to get little negative camber or atleast factory specs of 0 degrees. Should I switch the strut mount position to the rear and in position to get ) camber and +28' in caster? I just don't want it to pull to the right anymore and not to have positive camber. It just seems like the alignment did more harm then help to the steering. Thank you for your time.

yeah you need more negative camber, you've got a little positive camber going on there.
So the specified range in the shops computer is for a small amount of positive camber. What could be causing it to pull to the right more, the big difference in steering angle inclination and included angle?

kinda forget what sai does, as its not adjustable, short of something being bent.
have you swapped tires front and rear?

I haven't swapped the tires yet but it still doesn't make sense that the SAI changed so much on the right side. The FSM says the king-pin inclination(SAI) should be 10 degress 44'. The original SAI was way closer to stock.
