5kcstq alignment question

[Lawrence C Leung]

Make them do it over, Bring you Bentley, and watch them like a hawk (i.e.
don't let them just put numbers in the machine to get a printout, make
sure that they are actually adjusting the suspension to get it to spec).
And note, as Phil said, make sure they get everything to the center of
spec. The ranges are check values ONLY. This shop may end up hating you,
but you should get what you request, or your money back.
