This is what I got for the alignment. I haven't really looked closely at it until posting it now. Lady at the counter included this with receipt and I just folded it and left. Doesn't look like they touched camber, and if I'm reading this right it isn't even in spec. Figure you go to what's supposed to be a reputable shop and ask for an alignment they would have done whatever was needed.

Appreciate all the suggestions.
Well there you go then there! You need 2 degree castor wedges. The thick part of the wedge goes to the back. The fancy alignment shop I went to said they never put in wedges before. And they can't adjust camber either. All they can adjust is the toe-in. Good luck
