Alignment story may be useful for some 850

I had a dealer do mine and they hook it up to a computer
system that reads out all 4 wheels and the geometry between them
(thrust angle, as I recall is the measurment of axle to axle
orientation). Then they adjust it. The readout includes the
limits and it is easy to see if the car is in or out of spec (heck,
it tells you how far out of spec it is). It seems hard to mess up.
Kind of amazes me the original shop couldn't do it unless they only
aligned the front or made manual measurements.
