allignment specs?

hey guys i just got my suspension alligned after lowering my car , and it tracks fine but it seems to wander a bit left and right, i.e the steeing seems a little loose. i know this is usually an indication of too little caster angle. can anyone tell me the factory allignment specs front and rear so i can go back to the shop and make sure they did it correctly?

Could be your tires, could be the roads... The uneven pavement on some of the streets out there makes me feel that way too. Are you running stock tires or have you changed to aftermarket wheels? Where did you get your allignment done?

i'm running 225/50/16 for now. i got the allignment done at MB collision a mercedes benz collision shop here in richmond. when i talked to them they said they got it done to factory spec which could be fine but i know factories specify ranges so it could be justa matter of taking it to the other end of the range for example set my caster to the maximum positive setting specified by the factory and so on. i searched for a while and can't find anything on factory specs for w203's.
