I took my 2001 Honda Accord EX 4cyl sedan out for an alignment today after having 4 new tires put on. I knew my front toe was way out because both front tires were almost down to the steel belt on the inside shoulder. No fancy suspension, plain old stock parts.

Here is my spec print out sheet from the shop:

Do these numbers look right or should I go back for a second opinion? Also, the alignment template shows it is for a Honda Civic, same year but not for an Accord? Does it matter or is it the numbers that count?

Many thanks in advance :)

There's not much to adjust on these cars with the factory parts--just front and rear toe. The final settings for toe look good. Zero toe for the front will give good turn in response and the slight toe-in on the rear will add a little stability when cornering. Some people prefer a little toe-in for the front: the car would tend to track better at speed at the expense of turn-in response.

None of the other angles look too bad.

Just wondering, how come your left and right caster isn't the same?
