I took my car in for a tie rod end and alignment today. The car has been pulling a bit to the right.

The tires are in excellent shape and this was confirmed by my alignment guy. The front end was aligned to the following specs:
Left Right
1. Camber -0.27 -0.17
2. Cross Camber -0.10 -0.10
3. Caster -8.19 8.08
4. Cross Caster 0.12
5. Toe -0.08" 0.07"
6. Total Toe 0.15"

The front end is still pulling to the right. Do these specs look good to those in the know? The front end is stock.

Many thanks,
Rob

i got some specs here from the bmws user manual and your allignment should be around:

Total toe = 1.5mm

Camber Angle = 0 degress +-30'

Castor Angle = 8 degrees +-30'

Kingpin inclination = 10 degrees and 54 minutes +-30'

hope this helps

as for why it pulls to the right i dont know, maybe control arm bushes and etc might be worn

you're gonna want the toe to be close to 0. rear wheel drive cars normally the toe is slightly negative because you want ur "running toe" to be 0. looks like your toe is pointing your tires to the right.
