Allignment question?


Hey guys, just had a question regarding Allignment. I’ve had many a done since lowering it years ago. Long story short, had the ingalle arms years ago, went back to stock on rear end. Recently purchased SPC upper arms, and got new tires for A-Spec wheels I’ve had sittin in boxes. Had the SPC arms put on the day of tire install, and Allignment done. Asked to get as close to zero as possible, tech advised a little toe in, I said ok. He aligned it, and am getting a slight pull to the right.

Have Skunk upper camber arms on front, he didn’t have to adjust that. The rear “before” is off, only cause arms were installed minutes before most recent Allignment (after tires installed). I’m thinkin maybe toe needs a lil more adjustment. ? (I will say that it seems moving the steering wheel to the right is more direct(sensitive) than to the left, but only minute). Let me know if more info is needed. I’m only dropped a lil over 1 1/2”. Koni yellows and H&R sport springs, lowest perch in the rear, second to lowest in the front.

As an added notation, I’ve read on here to keep toe as close to zero as possible. But with compression of suspension under load, with zero toe, wouldn’t that cause toe out?

Ive been advised before that slight toe In is the best, to alleviate toe out under circumstances. Just trying to get a better understanding, and know all, before going for a recheck tomorrow! My setup is adjustable, everywhere, but maybe the front subframe has shifted? Idk! Asking for advice. Thnks to anyone who can help/shed some light on my most recent Allignment.

Swap front tires side to side to see if any change. All numbers in range and a .07 degree toe is less than 1/16" each side.

Thnks^ Will try that suggestion.

Do all secondary angles look ok? I’ve never had an Allignment showing those figures before!
