This is the 'after' result. The before is off the page at the top in red - out if tolerance.

Got to say it's fixed our problem we think.

i hope it resolves ours too! ive just noticed the near side front tyre is being scuffed on the outer edge - so it could well be an alignment issue. glad yours is sorted. what causes the geometry to "go out"?
