Any alignment gurus on here?
Had VDub do an alignment yesterday on the Avant. I mainly did it because I recently put new suspension on, but after looking at the sheet (and if i'm reading it correctly) i'm glad i did. Looks like it was whacked. It also looks like they actually adjusted the front camber, which i thought would have cost more $$. I'm also seeing a significant improvement in MPG, like a 20% increase! Can any of you who know about alignments check this sheet out and let me know if i'm correct in assuming it was whacked, and if they did a decent job? TIA

That alignment is perfect, judging by the negative cross camber i would say you dropped the suspension by about 2 inches? The lower you go on an audi the more negative cross camber your gonna get in the front. Yours is not even close to my S4, my cross camber is -1.20 because mine is slammed. The only way to compensate for that is to use a camber kit, you really don't need to because its not that far off. My car just eats up tires on the inside, so i have to rotate them every 5k
On the bright side, having negative camber increases handling by 100% every 1 degree you make it, going too much like 3* would cause a severe oversteer issue.

Camber can be equalized in the front, not individually adjusted. Basically you loosen the subframe and use a big *** pry bar and shift it until the cross camber is as good as its gonna get.
Caster is not adjustable on a four link suspension.
