Mark,
I called Steve Gherlein from Cambridge Auto today on his radio show on KTSA 550 AM in San Antonio to ask about the alignment problem I've posted about here - he recommended a gentleman named Richard at Alamo Paint and Body on Bandera Rd just inside Loop 410 as being a suspension guru. You may ask him for a second opinion.

John in San Antonio

PS - your broken sway bar sounded plausible to me - I've never heard of a "stuck shock".
