Wheel Alignment - advice

I was wondering if someone with some knowledge of wheel alignments could confirm if my recent wheel alignment calculations has been done to a satisfactory standard?

The wheel alignment was corrected using a hunter machine and I have been told they have been adjusted within the acceptable tolerances, but me being me would have liked it to have been closer to perfection.

Merry Christmas!

Actually I would say they have not quite spent enough time on the front, there is no excuse on a Hunter alignment kit for it to be spot on.
The problem with these settings are that if you have a small kerb banging issue it will knock it out and not being spot on in the first place it will be further out and wear your tyres out faster.

Also what are your front lower and upper bushes like and was it in TTM for the check.

Front camber is right on the limit. However, the bolts may have been seized in the bushes, preventing them from being adjusted. Toe is fine though

Rear camber is fine, but rear toe could have been set a little better, but still in spec

Thanks, that sort of puts my mind at rest.
Lower suspension arms, steering rack, ARB bushes and tryes all recently changed.
Come to think of it, it did feel very rushed. They managed to damage my alloys while putting the tracking equipment on, so when I go back I'll ask them to spend a bit more time on it.

Mine had a Hunter's alignment today now that summer wheels/tyres are back on. Front right camber was adjusted to its limit and was still at about -1.28 and the guy said it must be a worn bush stopping him from being able to get it nearer. He showed me the eccentric washer that was at it's limit. Any ideas please anyone?
