I have some concerns about the alignment of my front end. It seems to have a rather grotesque positive camber on the front tires. The ride heigth is also pretty high but then again I think the rear springs are starting to sag. Anyways, I've had my car for over 3 years now and its been this way the whole time but I can't stand it. I usually get an alignment once a year and I've gotten a couple different responses when I ask the shop this question.

1) they tell me that it is just normal for my car...

2) something must be bent in the subframe/frame of the car.

I feel the shop just doesnt care to look into it and I have since stopped going there however I'm wondering if any of you have a similar problem?

Thanks
