Looks like you may have hit something with your passenger front wheel. If you pull the alignment pin on that strut you can probably get the camber to match.

That likely still won't be enough.

You'll probably have to pop both pins in order to get both sides to match.

Doesn't look like they did much. If you ask me its just as bad as it was and you wasted time and resources at shop that is under qualified to do proper alignment. If in green that doesn't mean is OK and will ride OK and won't wear tires.

So what should the proper numbers be? It came with 6 month warranty... so I should be able to take it back and have them redo it.

LF camber -0.7 RF camber 0.0 > try to have both -0.7
front toe is Ok
rear camber is OK
rear toe I would like to be 0.05 to 0.10
They give you warranty on what? The alignment?
I hate shops that do such things. They will re do the alignment for free but wont replaced your tires if they get worn out. True?

Yes warranty on alignment. Had tires put in Saturday(the alignment machine was not working). Took car to another shop on Monday for the alignment because of new tires and right rear wheel didn't look straight.
