You might be interested in this thread where it turns out that some of these fancy alignment machines need to be "swept" before they give the right number =>

Sorry wrong terminology - you need to sweep the wheels - I don't know what that means. I do my own alignment and suspension adjustments. |
Agreed on the RTFM. The pull to the right is not unexpected given the settings. I think I've confirmed that rear bushings need to be replaced when the weather improves. I'll do the front also just because then all will be new.
For now, I'll have them align it again and not give it back with obviously incorrect specs especially when it drives like the specs indicate. They did say that the machine is calibrated every 6 months.
