How's it going guys. It's been a long while since I've been here. As an update, my 03 xc90 finally bit the dust. And I turned around and recently picked up an 07 with the v8. Definitely loving it so far. Now my issue has been with my alignment. I put new tires on the truck, and got a four wheel alignment but now I feel like I'm fighting the truck to stay straight on the highway. The truck slowly drifts to the right. And seems easily affected by wind and road crown possibly. The alignment spec sheet shows everything is within their spec. After doing some research it seems there was a toe spec change in 09 for the xc90. It goes from a negative setting which the alignment shop did to mine, to a positive setting in 09. Why the change? Should I go with the newer spec?
AFAIK the suspension parts were not significantly changed from 03-14. So I'm leaning towards the possibility the spec was a typo or something seeing up 09 seeing how they just mirrors the spec from -0.16° to 0.16° on the toe setting.
Alignment issues and questions.

Zero idea as to why but the positive 0.16 it looks legit as you indicate for MY09 onwards- https://www.davebarton.com/pdf/RTJ%2019674-2010.pdf
