I suggested making sure the alignment was correct, hardly dangerous. I recommended an alignment spec that was either in spec or at most 0.2 degrees out of spec on the front and within spec on the rear. These are still very mild alignment specs, as I'm sure you know, and if his alignment wasn't done correctly at the factory this would make his car safer.

SolsticeMan,

Thanks for the clarification on toe. I looked at my alignment sheet and while the total toe was "in the green" it was still just barely correct (0.28 total toe when max is 0.30). All the toe was in the right side of the car where the left side was at or very close to 0. Camber was actually set at 1.25 degrees in the front (out of spec) and there was almost a degree difference in the caster left to right. Maybe I'm picky about my alignments but if had paid for that alignment I would have made them do it again.
