Default The art of Wheel Alignment

Last week I had the alignment done on a 4WA rig, the alignment was out and I knew it was at the time. No printout available as the printer was broken, but it looked ok on the screen.

Today I had all 4 tyres replaced, at a different place as my usual one did not have the required tyres sizes in stock. They also offered to check the alignment for free, so when I went to pickup the car they also said the alignment is out, and provided me with a printout.

To fix this they would like to have the car for a whole day, as due to the complexity of the suspension they want time to get it right, and also mentioned that if one of the track rod ends has seized it/they may need to be replaced, even though they know it was adjusted fine last week.

I have attached the printout to this post, thoughts appreciated. The car drives fine, or seems to at least.
