The camber isn't out of spec 1 degree, it's only out 0.1 degree. But, yeah, I wouldn't worry about that, either.

Toe is also where mines is way off. But I blame the weak bushings. I already replaced the coil bucket arm but looks like its already out again.

Next time you are due for an alignment, for the prior week or so, give the adjustment bolts a shot of PB blaster or other good quality penetrating oil each morning before you leave.

I've had success with this in the past, and usually have nothing to report regarding 'Frozen' bolts.

But as SMJ stated, looks like you are good to go for now anyways!

With what you've done and with what you're saying, it seems to place doubt that this alignment shop's techs know what they're doing!

I also thought that caster was non adjustable in the front? Tell me if I’m wrong about that.

The shop that did the alignment yesterday wasn’t well equipped to handle big vehicles. They had a 6 inch lifted avalanche pickup come in and they had issues aligning it.

4x4 shops only from now on.

After 2008 the rear didn't come with adjustable Bolts, but you can buy them and put them in.

Caster is adjustable in the front so long as the caster/camber bolts are installed on the control arms.
