How Does My Alignment Look?

Just got my car back with a new steering rack (A15). All the slop is gone and feels much tighter like it was when new.

How does my alignment look? Anything look off? Feel free to post yours as well!

Everything is green, which is all in spec. What are you concerned with?

Before the steer ahead was way off, but total toe was in spec. This means even though the suspension was all good, the steering wheel was crooked. This makes sense if the steering rack had slop. Concerning why such a new car had a worn out rack already

i had the original rack replaced at 18k miles. then had the recall done around 55k miles. Steering felt looser after getting the recall done which made sense considering the lighter preload spring and extra grease but continued to get lighter and eventually developed audible slop/clunking when steering back and forth.

they used an updated rack this time. 53620-T38-A15. I think the old one was A13. would be interested to know what changes they made to the rack, but I don't think that information is available.

Why did you have the rack replaced? Recall or issues?
