I had a four wheel alignment done on my 1982 Westy a few months ago. I'm positive that they did all four wheels because I sat in the bay and assisted the technician with some of it. It was a difficult job and the shop manager was hounding the mechanic to hurry up and finish for the last hour or so. I suspect that only the front wheels would have been done if I wasn't there to supervise. I had to break out the Bentley and show them the alignment specs for the rear. The numbers were not in their computer.
