Sounds like I need to take it back tomorrow. Is anything adjustable in the rear?

Nope, only the front axle. Do you have a printout of your alignment numbers? No need to take it back if they're good.
Caster is out, Camber is in:
Initial Min Spec Max Spec Final Front Caster L 2.7 3.55 4.45 2.58 R 3.38 3.55 4.45 3.33 Camber L .05 -.70 .15 .04 R .09 -.70 .15 -.06 Toe L .26 .00 .25 .12 R -.24 .00 .25 .12
Talked to him this morning and he thought the front of the LCA was adjustable, but the rear was just a pivot, so Camber and Caster would be adjusted together...... sounded like he was worried fixing one would hurt the other.

Numbers dont look too bad so I wouldn't worry. The rear pivot slides to adjust caster and has a minor effect on camber. The front adjusts camber and has a minor effect on caster.
Went back today for a second try .... I added a column for the new results:
Initial Min Spec Max Spec Final 1st try Final 2nd try Front Caster L 2.7 3.55 4.45 2.58 3.00 R 3.38 3.55 4.45 3.33 3.13 Camber L .05 -.70 .15 .04 -.14 R .09 -.70 .15 -.06 -.01 Toe L .26 .00 .25 .12 .11 R -.24 .00 .25 .12 .12
Numbers are better, seemed there was only so much that could be done with the caster, without dragging the camber out.

Umm is your alignment guy familiar with doing alignments on our XK? Doesn't seen it. You should be able to get that alignment dead on

Well . .... . No........ this is his first one. He didn't even know the LCA was adjustable on the first attempt. Now he knows, but was moving everything together.
He has great equipment with a nice laser setup, Does mostly fleet vehicles - ambulances in particular with whatever else comes his way thrown in the mix.
He was doing it all by himself which probably didn't help, and I wasn't able to help as I was dressed for the office.
