my wifes cousin just had DC buy back their town and country van, minus a
milage penalty.

the van would pull to the right above 60, numerous alignments, at various
shops, including a shop recomended by dc ( not a dealer, an alignment
specialty shop)

the problem still existed, a dc rep came out drove the van, did a report,
some other people drove the van (not sure who), back to another shop, again
not a dealership.. then they had some templates etc..... turns out some of
the stampings for the suspension were off by a small percentage.

apperently as vehicles are made the toolings? wear down, and eventually the
parts are out of speck.
