Default Lazy Wheel Aligner syndrome

hi
I am writting this to make people more aware of such poor workmanship its absolutely outstanding failure and more common than u think .

BT50 model un ==same as PjPk Ranger 4x4
Vehicle one owner prior from new
Fixed all the front end
This vehicle had never been wheel aligned in 200,000km

Business Tyre Power
W/align attempts twice
Prior to W/A ,, drift left from effects of worn out parts now resulting odd wear in tyre.

--------------------------------------------
ABSOLUTE LIES 1st attempt
"""cannot adjust shims because there is no thread left"""
-------------------------------------------------------
U can see the adjusters with xtra thread 6mm min sticking out !!!!!!!!
Vehicle drifts of the LHS of road
Reported to manager

2nd attempt adjusted caster and toe-in only

-************************************************** *******************-
RESULTS
caster is correct 2.5pos LHS //// 2.0 pos RHS ,,,,stable slightly heavy =GOOD

camber is a complete stuff up is an example of the LAZY W/Aligner tech
camber factory spec 45pos minutes [60 min to a degree ]
Both front wheels at 45pos MINUTES CAMBER ,,, this should never be done
THIS WILL CAUSE UNCONTROLLED DRIFT TO CURB SIDE

LHS CAMBER NEEDS
"o" deg camber up to 10min negative

Vehicle will then be stable on a cambered road surface and not have drift to LHS

------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GOOD AND BAD W/ALIGNED VEHICLE IS NIGHT AND DAY
-------------------------------------------------------
SOUND SIMIAR TO THE OTHER POST about Bridgestone

.............lazy wheel aligner strikes again
