Get a second opinion!

Find a different alignment shop one that specializes in suspension and will give you the printouts. I have had two cars that come to mind as having tough alignment problems. One a 75 Camaro, had the front sub frames bent back in to position because the motor torque was pushing the frame outward moving the upper A frames out. This was my choice of fix, but the point here was I was given options for resolving the problem. But they are long since out of business. The other was a 97 Contour that a problem with the left rear tire wearing. Even with repeated alignments (NO problem!) rotations and balance the problem persisted. So I started to look for a new shop. Found a shop that does custom work. He was able to get it to just within spec with out any mods or new parts (not that is was old enough to need any). This guy worked his tail off to get that car right. The resolution is out there.
