They are different.
The second from last alignment I had done on my GD they used FD specs and it pulled left.
It has since been redone.
I can't believe any professional workshop would use another vehicles specs as near enough is good enough. WTF.

Is that what you're telling us, they did not have the GD specs in their system and subbed FD??

They had both, saw it was a 2012 model which covers both, didn't know an FD from a GD and picked the wrong one.
:rofl: Google?

This probably sums up all the above complaints.

I was playing with the GDS and remembered this topic. Here are the alignment values for FD from the workshop manual. As I remembered. Toe is pretty much all they can do. Everything else needs new parts. Heard same thing from the suspension shop last summer when I got my alignment done.
