Subject: Alignment settings confusion

Hi
I have a 90 miata.
I just got new tires, got them balanced, and then full alignment
since the car was drifting towards the left with the old tires.

The car is still drifting towards the left inspite of two alignment attempts
at FireStone and one at TownFair.  TownFair tells me that the aligment
is within specs.  Even crossing the tires does not affect the left drift.
Any clues??

One interesting thing I found for our group is that the settings that TownFair
has on its computer are very different from the ones published on miata.net

TownFair Computer:
 Camber Caster  Toe
Front: -0.4  3.8  0.00
       to 1.2  5.3  0.15
Rear: -1.2    0.00
       to -0.2    0.15

miata.net
 Camber Caster  Toe
Front: -0.6  4.7  0.0625
       to -0.8  5.5  0.125
Rear: -1.1    0.0625

WHICH ONE IS RIGHT ????

Thanks,
Sudhir
