wheel alignment

[losh1971]

You can't other than raise and lower the car.

From VX onward you only had toe adjustments.

If you want adjustment then you need to fit an after market bush adjustment kit.

VX on? VE has rear camber adjustment.

VX on? VE has rear camber adjustment.

For 3rd gen Commodores. VE/VF are 4th Gen and a whole different design.

Now, I understand.

VX series 2 was the first with toe adjustment on the rear...Camber adjustment required an aftermarket kit

VE has toe and camber adjustment from factory in the rear

The alignment they did is fine How they set it.
Where they went wrong is not locking the steering wheel straight before adjusting the toe. Take it back to the shop & have them redo it. It’s a simple fix.

What do you mean by locking the steering wheel straight as in how do they "lock" the steering wheel straight? Is it just eyeball and wiggle it or do with a tool?

It's a tool.....The shape pushes against the base of the steering wheel and then to the base of the seat and holds the steering wheel where you want it to stay whilst the adjustment is made...

EDIT...Can't find a picture of it to post up, which would help

i just turn the key to lock
and jiggle the steering wheel until the lock applies

Thats what l do too.

If necessary, l'll take the wheel of. & reposition it on the shaft.

Clockspring doesn't move.

Exactly what Vc commodore said.
A tool is used to hold the position of the steering wheel While adjustments are made.
just Take it back and have them redo it with the steering wheel wheel locked in the correct position.
