Wrote a big long post...

Jason, glad to see we are back to talking and thank you so very much for the post!

Don't follow, as alignment is alright now. Seems you are not understanding what I have written and attached.

Shouldn't wear since rear alignment better than front.

Wheel being off center is just a toe alignment. The other wear is indicative of other things. Changing lanes when braking is usually a caliper that's stuck.
Manny, thank you so very much for the reply!

Were you able to see the attachment?

Don't recall them using a spreader. How would I, one who is socially inept, ask them to fix the steering so steers strait, by using the spreader and the lock?

Can I fight the charge, since didn't get what I paid for?

Guess in the future need to make the trip out to the specialty shop.
