I'm a bit worried he fiddled with it but couldn't get it right - its only one adjustment, and he has the alignment tool to look at, so surely you simply turn the adjustable track rod while looking at the alignment reading, then tighten it up, then check it again? Maybe you have wear elsewhere in the steering, or maybe the mechanic doesn't know what he's doing????

i recently had my car lowered and had to go sumwhere with a hunter.
i remember the guy tellin me he can only adjust the caster on 1 side but then could replace the steering position and make it allright, but did tell me it is very slighlty to the left meanin i will take left turns better than right.

They can set the camber on both sides using the cam bolts.
My clipper has track adjustment on one side only but as
our friend says, when the toe in is set correctly the steering
wheel might be a bit out (1/4 turn on mine), but its a simple
job to straighten that up. Keep smiling J.
