Wheel alignment help please !
I own a base 2009 C6. I made a few posts today on tire pressure etc. When I bought the Continental tires I had a wheel alignment done. In fact I had it done 3 times.
My local Chevy dealer has their heads up their a-- so I wont be going back there. I used a good local shop for the other two alignments.
They only charged me once and did the 2nd alignment but the left to right slight wondering / drifting continues.
I have looked at the performance street specs on the PFADT sheet but they conflict with what I want done. I just want to set the car at street stock specs.
The current settings on the car are as follows.
Front left camber -0.5 degrees
Front left caster 7.3 degrees
Front left toe 0.04 degrees
Right front camber -0.6 degrees
Front right caster 7.5 degrees
Right front toe 0.05 degrees
(Total toe front 0.19 degrees) (Total tow steer ahead -0.01)
Left rear camber -0.4 degrees
Left rear toe -0.01 degrees
Right rear camber -0.4 degrees
Right rear toe -0.02 degrees
(Rear total toe -0.03 degrees) (Rear thrust angle 0.01 degrees)
Please help as it is a not a good ride when the car drifts.
PS - the front and rear end mechanicals are all good.
No loose or damaged parts.

Toe out on either end can contribute to "wondering". From your specs it looks like you have toe in in the front, and toe out in the rear. Make sure you have a bit of toe in front and rear
