Alignment results
My steering angle has to be turned a few degrees to the right to go straight. So i went in for an alignment...
Midas, they used some computer gadget and here are the results:
left
camber -0.4
toe +0.14
right
camber -0.8
toe +0.12
After the alignment my steering wheel has to be turned about a few degrees to the left to go straight.
the technician said that was the case because of the camber that cannot be adjusted.
does anyone have any input on what the tech said? whether that is true or not

That's what you get from going to Midas!
The camber numbers aren't off spec. The spec is -0.5 +/- 0.5 deg each side. Yours is less out of whack than many. When you have to move the wheel, is it on crowned roads? Check tire pressures as well. If you don't have directional wheels, swap them side to side see if it changes. Anyway, I don't go to cheapy alignment places for just these issues. Also a "few degrees" isn't much, any better description than this?
