I brought my xd to the dealership today to get an alignment. I had brought it to another place before and that shop did nothing. Car feels good and solidly planted after the alignment but I had one angle that was off. It was the right front camber. it was -.096 where as trd specs is -0.18 +- .75 so the value is -.93 max. I am very close so I do not mind this . What they did find was a height difference between the left front and right front. The right front being 1/4 inch higher and I confirmed this with a tape measure.

I have trd springs on stock shocks. Mileage on shocks are 5k. I am wondering if perhaps I had installed the right front shock incorrectly and should attempt to dissemble it or should I leave things alone as 1/4" is not noticeable. Dealer though it could be due to manufacturing tolerances.
I would hate to pull things apart if others have the same variation as I would have to pay for another alignment.
