I wonder if they were able to check for looseness that wouldn't show up in a simple, static alignment. For instance, (as mentioned by folks earlier), the problem could be bad bushings or C Beam allowing the rear alignment to go out of whack when power is applied, and when the suspension gets loaded when you start to turn in.

Do you have a suction cup Go-Pro mount you can put your camera facing a rear wheel and see if it does something crazy? Can you make it happen in an isolated parking lot or road?

I notice you have slight positive camber. That seems odd. But, if they are putting it to specs, I guess that's within range.

Yeah don't like the positive camber. On the rear toe, had toe out on one side(driver) and toe in on the other, which I interpret to mean that the wheels were pointed, albeit slightly, to the driver side. Considering that the majority of the loose back manifested in right handers, with the back coming out towards the driver's side, It kinda makes sense, I just don't know if it was enough to matter that much. Next step is to get it up in the air at home to check the bushings/beams...


Thanks,


Curt
