Q: Should they have adjusted the camber and caster.

asked by on August 07, 2017

I asked this a little while ago, but let me make myself clearer. I replaced the front struts on my moms 2008 Kia Rio5. I went to the shop for a front end alignment. They did a free alignment check and they told me the camber, caster, and toe were off. I told them to go ahead and do the alignment. They showed me the corrected toe, but the camber and caster were the same. Shouldn't they have adjusted this also or am I paying $50 for them to hook their fancy machine up and only do one part of it?Should I be going to get my money back?
