good point on the shims. just because our vehicles dont allow for shims, doesnt mean that the retards that you were taking it to didnt put shims in. check for those. have you been asking around to see if there is another good alignment shop in town? i would start doing so. the driveway alignment is good for making sure all of your parts are straight, and that you fix anything that is horribly wrong. but once you have finished your driveway alignment, i suggest finding a good shop. i might even consider a dealer. plus im sure you would like to know how close you got it.
