Has anybody that has leveled them gotten an alignment faced issues. I was just quoted $650 for alignment bolts for my lower control arm! I of course said naw. Looking for y’all’s input.

If it steers and drives fin, don’t worry about it.
0 camber is is optimal for tire wear but -1 degree is not going to do anything more than help you make right turns a hair faster before understeer happens.
A lot of newer vehicle have wheels that are not even close to 0 and it is obvious.
Ive noticed the “cockroach” Chevys (88-98) over the years and there are so many with obvious neg camber.
I seemed to luck out with mine. Over 200 k and it still has obvious + camber on an all original suspension.

Caster and toe NEED to be set correctly for proper handling characteristics and tire wear.
Camber, not so much, providing it is not way out of whack

On the top of the report, what does it say for the type of vehicle?
The caster reading is showing way out of spec, but I’m pretty sure that is the correct value.
the alignment shouldn’t be rocket science…..but!
