Print out shows problem with right front camber.

This tells you that the right wheel is leaning from center to outside of tire which is positive camber that you don't want. You want the camber to be slightly negative, but NEVER positive.

Good catch.

Camber isn't by itself a huge issue in pulling/wandering, but cross camber is and many MFGRs have a cross-camber spec. The greater the difference between the right and left camber, especially if one is positive and the other negative, the worse it is. Better to have both slightly out-of-spec in the same direction.

Thanks guys. The more info I have the better, before I go to the dealer. It is better after going to Firestone, but the front end still feels like I'm driving on rain grooves. I did check the mounting bolts for the steering box. Tight.
