    Arrow How bad is my alignment?

    I have been having a shaking in the VX at around 50+ mph on the highway. The tires are all brand new and inflated to the proper level. I also do not believe that the wheels are bent (virtually positive). I decided to go to my local NTB for an alignment and here is the spec sheet of before and after the alignment (the bolded numbers are the ones that are out of their specified ranges):

    Front Left Front Right
    Before After Before After
    Camber -.5 -.4 .4 .4
    Caster 2.1 2.1 2.1 2.1
    Toe .30 .01 -.15 0.00
    SAI 12.7 12.6 11.7 11.7
    Included Angle 12.2 12.2 12.1 12.1

    Front
    Before After
    Cross Camber -.8 -.8
    Cross Caster -.1 -.1
    Total Toe .15 .01

    Now I went ahead and did the alignment for $75... but he mentioned that the Cross Camber was what was really to blame, and to fix that he would need shims and about 3hrs (ie pricey). After the alignment the truck runs a bit better on the highway, but I still have a shake above 60mph.

    Is my alignment that out of whack?

    EDIT - I have enclosed a scan of the print out to make things easier
