Bought myself a pair of rear tyres today (Avon Zv7s) and thought to have the front end aligned whilst I was there.

From my understanding you cannot have the rear adjusted due to the leaf suspension setup. However my understanding is basic and I may be wrong.

Does anyone know whether with these figures it was worth having an alignment done?

It drives no differently to how it did before...

The steering still doesn't sit in the centre - very slightly off.

Wondering if I should notice a change at all.

Yes the adjustment should make a difference but at the same time if done bang on right should leave the steering wheel straight.
What i would do is run it a couple of days let everything settle down then take back tell them steering off centre you will probably find it needs another tweak to sort it right.

Cheers @Stevo7682 - what's to say that the steering wheel isn't misaligned?

If the car is driving straight and its just the wheel tell them the wheel is off center but if it is also pulling left or right make sure to also point that out.

Edit. looking at the readings the nearside front toe is pretty far out so adjustment should at the very least save some tyre wear.
