According to the printout the alignment angles are in the specified range (Unless I'm missing something?) If this is true, and If your not pulling, drive it.

Positive is toe out. .18 on both sides is .36

Rear toe doesn't show in the pic.

The perfect toe is -.05 on both sides. So when you're driving and the tires flex. You're closer to zero.

As for your steering wheel dilemma. I'd adjust the left side tie rod one full turn out. That will swing the front of tire in towards the front of passenger tire. And make your steering wheel straighter. And bring your toe closer together.

Aren't those measurements in degrees instead of inches?

At Goodyear our Snap-on alignment machine measured in decimal degrees.

EDIT: According to the printout those are degrees.

You're right. Thanks for the correction.

Back in my day. The machine we had was inches on toe. And they didn't have graphs like what he has.

Looking at it closer. He's actually pretty good minus the crooked steer wheel.

Technology has certainly changed in the automotive service industry quickly.

When did you retire?

2000

When alignments were done with toe beams?

This is making more sense to me now. Appreciate all the insight guys, I guess I'll just make them fix the steering wheel, considering I paid for it. I could also try adjusting it myself.

I think my next alignment I'll do the fishing line method. Seems very doable

If you try to adjust it yourself more than likely you'll make it worse since I'm assuming you don't have alignment equipment or a drive on lift.

If you do the alignment wrong, you might not know it until you wear shoulder of the tires.
