[QUOTE="03OxWhiteMach, post: 11473480, member: 83634"] LOL... The BEST tech at the shop can't get it aligned? They don't even need to align the rear... Its a solid rear axle car, nothing to align. If the steering wheel is off to one side after the alignment, they didn't have it centered with the steering wheel locker in place before the alignment started. Start by cross rotating the fronts and see if it pulls the other way. If it does, then its the tire. If you have directional tires on it, rotate front to back. Next, if you work at the shop, have them throw it up on the alignment rack with you there. Have them calibrate the heads (depends on the model). Make sure all of the heads are leveled (bubble in the center on all four heads.) Do your caster swing with the brake depressor on and the pins pulled out of the rack. Center the steering wheel and install the steering wheel lock. Pull up the measurements... if you are within factory spec the reading will be green, if not in spec red. If the tech is unsure on how to make the adjustment, right click and pick illistrate adjustment. Adjust as needed: Caster, Camber, then Toe. Should be good to go... Many guys get lazy and just toe and go. [/QUOTE]
