Bad rack?? the guy might have slit sideways into something trying to FF drift and fucked the rack up as a whole. also check to see it the rack is loosly mounted on the car.

werd on the bad tech, if it was a good tech he would have test driven it to ensure no pulls or drifts. If there was still pulls or drifts present he would have told you what part was faulty or suggested what could be done otherwise. Some alignment techs that slam out cars align by the theory of "it it don't break loose i ain't adjusting it." They fudge the specs of the after print out by holding whatever was out of, into spec for the print out or just adjust the alignment heads to read that it has been adjusted.

i agree, but when i got the car back it was fine then half way home on the highway it started pulling again :dunno: i noticed 10 extra miles on the odometer when i picked it up so they did drive it...

I'll put ten miles on your car and tell you it's fixed, I have time...lol j/k!
I would recommend taking it back, if they're a reputable shop they will look at/ correct it for you no charge.
