Thanks Ken for responding-

Just got off the phone with the body shop ... car is going in on Thursday.

I expressed concern about the front delta camber as well as the incomplete measurements. The attached form, in an atypical format from what I normally see here, is what I received from the body shop.

Car tracks straight, no problem. Car does not pull on braking.

Comments are appreciated.

They have a dated system for doing alignments. I am slightly concerned about the math being done on front camber delta

A thrust angle of .02 is likely not noticable for the type of driving it sounds like you do. It's not ideal, but also not notably problematic. You can make a stink and demand a "fix" or be happy with the car as is, neither option is "wrong." Some of that decision may be made based on how well dealing with insurance has been going and whether you want your car back now.

I would ask them in which world ".9 - .3 = .5 though"
