Go to ANY place and give them your symptoms and ask for the EXPERT.

Do it your self! There is only caster and toe ajustments on our car and it's a pice of cake to do your self if you have resonably flat spot to park like a grage or car port.
ok this is all you need to do. Firts you need to have same wheels and tires on front and rear. If you have a stagared set up you could move the back wheels to one side and the fronts to the other. Then you need a pair of jack stands and some fishing line.
So set the caster first this is easy because you will want as much caster as you can get so just back the nut on the strut bar in until there is no threds left then tighten down the front nut til it is nice and tight (TRSM calls for 76ft/lbs)
Now to set the toe, make sure the steering wheel is centered (you will have to center it every time you make an adjustment).
So take you fishing line and sring it between the jack stands put one in front of the car and one at the back. Now push the stands in untill the fishing line just barly touches the tires. If it touches the front and back of the tires at the same time you would have 0 toe in the front and 0 toe in the back. I set my car up for 1/8th toe in rear and 0 toe front. So the fishing line would be touching the rear part of the rear tire and would be a 1/8th away from the front of the rear tire and tuching both the front and back of the front tire.
I've done a number of alignment jobs on a nuber of differant cars I've owned over the years and all of them worked out really good. Plus if you don't get it right the first time drive it back and try it again, It beats paying some grease monkey 80 bucks.
