I looked at them and they seemed ok....nothng dented or anything

You won't be able to "see" it by looking at it. Scan the alignment sheet and post it.

I would also check the spindle. That is the usally the problem with a bad or out of spec SAL

What are the camber values? You have struts, so camber and steering axis are highly related.

Did you install springs? or Was there something removed and installed before the alignment.

What was the reason to get an alignment?

Did you hit a curb or pothole?

If you did hit something, usually the strut bends first, then lower control arm, then knuckle.

I didnt do any installs...always do an alignment after i go to the dragstrip

Something is probably bent. Take a long look at the suspension and bushings.

I don't understand why you have a "before" and "after" alignment. Since each print-out has a before and after (labeled "actual"), I assume these are from two different trips to the shop, yes? If so, what happened between them?

And why did they leave you with so much toe-in at the left rear? Did you ask for zero toe and they couldn't do it or did you not specify any particular values as a target?

Hmm makes me want to check my control arms out now, I was having the same issues.

As I pointed out in another thread on alignments, it's at least as likely that the tech put the reflectors on the wheels incorrectly for the one alignment with bad readings.
