Settings should be as before if not then the car suspension and bushes have settled or the wheel clamps weren't perfectly square on the face of the wheel.

I'd recommend that you have a check done on the Hunter machine ASAP. Checking should be free from a lot of places that have hunter machines as is so simple to do.
Cheers Will, I'll take it back to my local STS & have them recheck, I'll also ask them to reset the camber.
Unfortunately the level of competence has dwindled over the years
Allot of tyre places only set toe and don't set camber.

Apparently they aren't trained to do so!

That incidentally is why I learnt to use the hunter machine myself!

Also ensure that they are selecting to adjust for weighting in the car...
