[QUOTE="c6zhombre, post: 16417951, member: 76381"] There's an entire list of items that could be worn out....making the alignment difficult to dial into spec and then actually holding it as you leave the shop and go along your way. Ball joints, tie rods, control arm bushings, etc need to be inspected. How many miles on the car? If high mileage, probably wouldn't hurt to get new struts/shocks as well. Double check the eccentric bolts in the IRS make sure they're not worn out of spec. The other complicating issue is the tires themselves....if this camber issue has worn tires to one side and become "staircased" leaning to that side of wear....you will never get the alignment back within spec, even with all the other suspension parts replaced. You need to diagnose several things in a logical order before this can be fixed with reliability. If this dealer isn't capable of doing that or you've lost faith....time to move on. [/QUOTE]
