just got a wheel alignment done on my 99 accord (64K miles) at midas... looking at the readout i don't see a whole lot of adjustments made (for eg caster L/R, sai, curve toein etc).. some of the numbers seem worse than before (camber L/R front/rear). i guess only toe looks to be improved.. my questions to the folks in-the-know-
- what do you make of the read outs..
- does it indicate the best possible adjustments..
- finally are the alignment results objective or subjective.. if i took the same car to a different shop would i get similar results..
- now that the car is aligned, if i were to take it to another shop would they come back saying nothing needs to be done? too many questions, hope someone can shed some light on this.. thanks!
