Alignment Question...Failed at Dealership

[The Fixer]

Can someone explain these numbers? Not really sure how my never-wheeled, completely stock 2-door Sport with only 6K miles can fail an alignment? It tracks straight, no death wobble, and does not pull.

I told the guy I didn't want one because I'm going to lift it anyway, but I am curious as to why these numbers are what they are?

Camber is not adjustable on a stock JL. The angle is preset with solid axles and can only be changed with offset ball joints which a dealer would never do.

Did they actually put it on an alignment machine or use the revenue generating drive across pad on the floor? That is exactly what it is used for. " Mr. customer, your Jeep needs an alignment or your tires will wear out."

That's what I was thinking!

They used the ones that hook over the tires and drove it about 12" forward.

If your tires aren’t showing any uneven wear , and it’s steering good don’t worry over it. Your fine , in fact, the numbers the way they are, the same but different order, that looks like someone bumped a mirror to drum up business, lol.

Reminds me of the dealership where my daughter takes her car - free oil change and tire rotation but they really push for a billable alignment at each and every tire rotation.
