Alignment Done Today, New Problems And Bent Frontend?? HELP!!

[Mustang78]

Yesterday i finished up installing some 88gt spindles, struts, springs, rotors, and disks, then a set of new tie rod ends adjusted to exactly where the old ones were, i knew it needed an alignment because it dove into corner and steered itself to a point(waaay too much toe out), he said this is all the adjustment the car has, i probably need caster/camber plates but this is STOCK ride height(but front springs are from the 88GT). Anyway i scanned the results paper and really hope someone can figure out why the numbers ar different from left to right, is something bent?? i always noticed my front tires are further back in the wheel well than other mustangs, but both sides are consistent and the car has never been wrecked to my knowledge, it tracks straight and works fine, the numbers just worry me, Thanks!

also can anyone explain why it has caster in the negative side?? same goes for cross camber and caster, what are they??

The cross camber and cross caster are the Left and Right side values added together.

A decent amount of negative caster is good, but the fact that it is different by a degree from the left to right side is strange. Thats the only value that bothers me, everything seems to be pretty spot on, they decrased camber on the right sid, but the left side value went down only 0.1, which makes me think that they didnt do anything on that side but adjust the toe setting...

But toe-in/toe-out is what would make the car not drive straight, and that seems to be fixed. If the car drives fine id say dont worry about it too much, just keep an eye on tire wear.

I also wouldnt worry about how far the tires are back in the wheel well, as long as it is the same side to side

cool, i just went out and checked the stock plates, they're both maxed out, the drivers side is on the #5 hole and the pass. side is on the #1 hole(is that normal or should they both be on 1 or 5?), both have been moved and i noticed he used an impact on those bolts..which doesnt make me too happy, but otherwise im not too worried, the inside of the left tire wore badly on the stock tires, i hope my new ones wear evenly now after the alignment, thanks!
