...looking at the comments on the second sheet it seems like the mechanic gave up. It seems like he's had a look at the car decided that he doesn't like the rust - hasn't made a fuss about the vehicle not being level and then put it on the machine.

Interesting to see the measured toe with and with out the spreader bar though.

Which values are you referring to that were out of spec?

What made you come to that conclusion?

Not being level?

The service adviser commented that he tried to adjust the box as much as he could, he didn't want to break it and render the car unusable. The box is indeed sloppy. Saturday I checked the pump reservoir and saw that it was low. The fluid was clean and clear. I could easily see the filter. I added a few ounces of clear power steering fluid. I checked back a day or so later and it turned to a brown mud color. :O
