to the best of my knowledge you have to do a caster swing to get any readings, including camber and toe, from the alignment machine. how were they able to get the other readings without doing a caster swing.
That what I was thinking.
I suppose it depends on the equipment you are using. I haven't used any brand new state-of-the-art equipment so I can't vouch for them. I'm used to using a Hunter D111 machine. I know it's a 20 year old machine, but you get camber and toe readings immediately, no need for a caster sweep except for caster readings.
I can see where there may be interefence with his fenders. Just because there were no clearance problems with a certain machine on a b-body don't mean there won't be with another machine on an e-body. Also, backspacing on wheels can be an issue. I think the easiest fix for the problem is to put the stock 15's on it, align it, then put your 17's back on.
