Every time I get an oil change, the dealer generously checks my alignment for me.

They haven't pressured me to actually do an alignment, but I'd like some help interpreting the report. With the measurements below, do I need an alignment?

2009 Honda CRV AWD

It looks like all of these should be 0
Total Front Toe: +0.02 degrees
Camber Left Front: -0.5 degrees
Camber Right Front: -0.1 degrees

It looks like this one should be +0.1 degrees
Total Rear Toe: +0.13 degrees

It looks like this one should be -1 degree
Camber Left Rear: -1.8 degrees
Camber Right Rear: -0.8 degrees

Tirerack says that anything +/- 1 degree is fine. Is this true?

Your Rear left Camber its a tad out of spec but no need to worry just yet. But your rear toe might need adjustment soon. Have you notice uneven tire wear in the rear?

Its not far enough out that I'd worry about it unless you're seeing wear problems. IE its within the normal fudge factor you get unless you really ride the tech's ass to be precise.

Thanks. I haven't noticed any uneven tire wear, but I haven't looked at them recently.
