Opinions on alignment
Guys can you have a look at my alignment settings, I don't really know much about em? I am asking because I have had about 5 cars in the past two days honking at me and telling me that my rear left wheel looks wobbly, I jacked the car, the wheel is firm and bolted ![Dunno](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
A little prehistory,- i lost traction in a turn and skid into a curb with both of my left wheels taking the impact, so I got it fixed and had the alignment done. But the car vibrates quite a bit, the mechanic said it's because of my finished winter tires which also happened to be unevenly used (more wear in the middle of the tire) because they were over inflated. But I am wondering maybe it's a problem with bad alignment or there is still some damage to the wheel...
I also just realized when uploading the report, that for some reason it says 04 model with standard suspension![Uhh](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/uhh.gif)
Here is the report; are these alignment settings good for street/ spirited weekend drives in the mountains?

you want toe as close to zero as possible, and the caster to be as high and same from L, R as possible.
Ideal caster would be like 6.8, 6.8
Ideal camber would be 0 to -1 but similar from left to right when you are in the vehicle.
If you are driving spirited road put the camber at -1.0 in the front and -1.5 in the rear
ALSO, put the car up on jack stands in the rear completely. Start the car, put trans in first gear and let the clutch out. get out and inspect wobbleness
just be careful
