Just took my 97 gst down to schwabs an had an alignment done since I recently replaced my wheel bearings an tie rod ends on both sides. They did the alignment an didnt charge me for the work since they said that they couldnt align it to their standards an instead handed me a paper saying that I needed them to do the following: Rear chamber Shims, Adjustable Ball Joint (which 1 is bad). Their total for all of this is $661
Basically the way they explained it to me is that the right side of my car is messed up for whatever reason but the left side is completely fine. This doesnt make a whole lot of sense to me considering one side is fine. So my question is has anyone had any experience in this area or does anyone have any advice? I do plan on lowering it in the future which from my understanding will enhance this problem. plus I dont want to be smoking threw tires unless I am really smoking threw them. Any an all advice an help would be appreciated
I will include two pictures of what they gave me so you can see the alignment specs an what they wanted to charge me for.
I cant get them to upload due to size so I can email if you want to see the alignment results
