I'm not liking the numbers in the front. Comparing the toe from the two sheets the arrows on the little graphs and the numbers aren't the same.
The diagnosis, indicating toe-out are in sync. The repair shows the numbers opposite the graphics. The numbers say toe-in, graphics show toe-out. A toe-in condition can cause a wandering issue. Not enough positive caster will contribute also. If you steering doesn't self-center after a turn when you let go of the wheel that also could be not enough positive camber.
It also shows a very, very slight dog-tracking. In this case the rear wheels are tracking to the left of the fronts.
I'm used to dealing in inches for toe, so I have no point of reference on how much a degree affects the toe. But this is what I see.
I would compare the wheel base for a difference between the left and the right. Considering it was hit on the left that may have literally bowed the vehicle slightly. Since the trailing arms have no real adjustment, it could have shortened the left-side wheel base, which will cause a pull to the left. We would do that on purpose for oval track racing.
All of these work together, as soon as you move something, everything has to be rechecked. Worn out or damaged bushings could also contribute.
I could get a 195 mph car to track straight down the backstretch at Daytona and Talladega. I do have a different perspective on what these measurements mean when they aren't what we wanted.
That said, I'm not there to look at other things that would catch my eye. These are lessons learned over 45 years of, "If we do this, we know the car SHOULD do this."
Good luck . . .
