You would never guess what they found. some how the large nut that connects the tie rod to the cradle was loose
They said it was never tight. I fail to understand this. I am not sure if this is possible, but I think that when they actually FIXXED the alignment it loosened it because it was so far out. I would have thought this was checked buy they said because it is not a "wear" item they normally do not check that side? Whatever if all is well I am a very happy camper.

So it was one of the items that we discussed. I'm glad that you found the problem. Keep in mind that just because the "Meters are in the green" that this doesn't necessarily mean that you have a good alignment.
Give me a call or post your final alignment settings, let me know how you drive and I'll let you know if you have an optimum setting for you.

PS. Thanks Robert for the referral.

Yes Mark is the man. I called in a bit of a panic and he gladly took the time to explain everything to me. I was more then appreciative of his time.
Here are a couple taken 2 days ago but they are already old. We installed a RK Sports hood on last night.

He is from Pleasanton. His name is Kenny. According to the carfax he only drove it about 1500 miles in a year and he confirmed that. Needless to say someone raced it but took good care of the physical aspect of the car. When I pulled the braking system it was trashed. 2 boots on the front calipers were melted, the rotors and pads were wasted, and it had brand new braided lines. The only aftermarket part on the car.
