Wheel alignment report, is this acceptable?

Hi there.

I hit a nasty pothole during the winter and since I was around Sears today, I requested a wheel alignment check/service. When driving, I did not notice my car pulling to the left or right, but I decided to have it checked/serviced anyway...

Here is the report:


Is this acceptable? I didn't read the report until I got home. When searching the web, I read that caster cannot be adjusted. However, I do not understand why other settings were not tweaked and why is it that front cross camber was 0.0 originally and -0.4 now?

Thanks in advance!

Car is stock. I just got new wheels but they have the same specs as stock wheels and I'm using stock tires.

Those numbers are ok. The low caster on the right front would only be a concern if the car pulls or drifts to the right. The front camber readings changing is most likely from the tech getting in the car to center the steering wheel. The right rear low camber should not be a problem.

Thanks for the answer. Car drives normal and doesn't pull or drift to the right...
