I took the car for alignment, and the technician said the front is not the problem, it's the rear thrust angle.

Looking at the numbers the left rear toe is -0.24 degrees, and the right rear toe is +0.34 degrees.

So the rear axle is not perpendicular to the vehicle now. Measuring center to center front to rear wheels, the passenger side is 0.25" shorter than the driver's side.

The car is fixed. I don't think they touched the rear, the front was adjusted, the Traction light is off, and the car steers straight.

I'm not home to drive it, or to ask the mechanics what he did. But it's fixed.

2 different shops?

I would like to see the final printout reflecting the before and after values.

Yes. A reputable small shop for the second go round. And a 'chain store' the first time, I would normally never go there but my wife wanted it fixed on the weekend.
