    After seeing that initial alignment, I'll bet your subframe is shifted. Looks like compensation for shifted subframe.

    Before doing the alignment make sure subframe is centered.

    Edit: whoops see your already out of shop. Measure the horizontal distance the wheels sit in from fenders... Symmetrical?

  • You think the whole front of the car has been knocked over to one side and that somehow one of the most well respected car suspension companies in the country missed it while checking and adjusting every setting on the car?

    The bloke from Centre Gravity has driven more 996s than probably anyone else anywhere ever.

    I'd say it's unlikely he missed it.

    That's the rear of the car, so clearly even the best miss things. It's just about the only explanation for the alignment to be like that. I'd be curious to see the sheet before work was done. If it was "aligned" but still pointing to the right, there has to be an explanation. Some call cars with alignment like that "dog tracking".

    @Dammit
    Subframe can be shifted and still all green on the alignment at the end. See the dog tracking comment above.

    This is a crude measurement because the body panels can be off, but measure the offset of the rear wheels from the quarter panel fenders. Are they symmetrical?

    Also grab a pic of same bolts now. Are they closer to symmetrical?

    Not trying to be a pain in the ass. I'm not a car guru, but I actually have a reasonable amount of experience with alignment.

    It may be perfect! I'd just be checking it out if it were my car. At the very least it's interesting.
